Nakhon Si Thammarat's 2569 mangosteen crop is forecast at 45,994 tonnes, up 16.22% on 2568, and about 64% has already been harvested. The Department of Agricultural Extension is adding two auction points in Lan Sak and Phrom Khiri, plus open-auction spots where buyers bid directly on growers' fruit (growers must pre-sort). Cooperatives and the provincial OrBorTor will help with collection and trucking. Sales peak in August at about 21,371 tonnes, and the department is also running online pre-orders (10 kg pack at 300 baht). If you buy or trade mangosteen, or supply fruit to buyers, check these new collection points and direct-buy channels before the peak.
