Ri 6 Durian – A Vietnamese Specialty Fruit with High Export Potential
Among Vietnam’s diverse tropical fruits, durian stands out as the most memorable in name and flavor. Several native and imported varieties are grown nationwide, including Ri 6, Chuong Bo Durian , Bitter Melon Durian, Chin Hoa Durian, Monthong (imported from Thailand), and notably Ri 6 — which has gained strong preference both in the domestic and international markets.

Product Characteristics:
Ri 6 durian is well-known for its:

• Golden-yellow flesh
• Mildly sweet, rich flavor
• Dry, non-sticky pulp
• Small or flat seeds (up to 40% seedless ratio)

Each fruit typically weighs between 3–5 kg. The variety was named after Mr. Sáu Ri, the farmer credited for developing this cultivar in Long Hồ District, Vĩnh Long Province.

Due to its favorable texture and rare incidence of unripe (sour or rubbery) pulp, Ri 6 is ideal for both fresh consumption and industrial processing.
