How much is miracle fruit per pound? Why is it prohibited from export?

1. The price of miracle fruit

Currently, the miracle fruit grown in China mainly comes from Taiwan, so the price will be slightly higher. Its retail price is generally between 500 and 700 yuan per catty. Now in Zhangzhou, Fujian, the wholesale price of miracle fruit is also around 500 yuan per catty. And now the price on Taobao is not cheap either. The price per catty has reached hundreds of yuan, so this kind of fruit is also classified as a rich man's fruit. It is sold at such a high price because everything you eat tastes sweet within 2-4 hours after consuming it, including lemons and bitter melon.

2. Why is export prohibited?

Miracle fruit is the most classic evergreen shrub in tropical regions, native to Cannes and Congo. In the 1960s, Premier Zhou Enlai visited west Africa, and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Ghana gave Premier Zhou the miracle fruit as their state gift. After that, miracle fruit began to be cultivated in our country. Miracle fruit is a national first-class protected plant, so whether in various countries in West Africa or in our country, it is protected and its export is prohibited.
