Roughly April to November, in volume from May, and staggered by region: the Mekong Delta orchards around Tien Giang and Ben Tre open it, and Dak Lak in the Central Highlands runs from about August and is now where the volume is.

That stagger is the whole reason a Hong Kong buyer works this lane and the Thai one. Vietnam peaks after Thailand has finished, so between them the two origins cover most of the year — and in the months where they overlap, the market has a choice it does not have in either shoulder.
