On September 1, at the 2nd Durian Festival of Krong Pac district (Dak Lak province), the Organizing Committee auctioned 3 durians that won the title "Durian Queen".
The first durian auctioned was taken from a tree over 100 years old at the CADA plantation, with a starting price of 60 million VND. Finally, a business won the auction for this durian with a price of 350 million VND.
The second durian to be auctioned was of the Dona variety with a starting price of 70 million VND. This durian was carefully selected from dozens of durian growers and went through a very strict selection process. In the end, a female entrepreneur won the auction with a price of 800 million VND.
The third durian auction is of the Ri6 variety, with a starting price of 60 million VND. Many businesses also want to own this durian.
After many fluctuations, a business finally set a price of more than 1.4 billion VND for this Ri6 durian.
Thus, the total auction price of 3 durians is 2.55 billion VND. The entire amount will be transferred to the People's Committee of Krong Pac district to implement local social security programs.
In addition, the 3 people who won the auction of 3 durians will also receive 1 gold-plated durian with a total value of more than 65 million VND.
