Vietnam: This photo was not photoshopped, but a real image of a rare Japanese grape that can be seen to be the size of a grape, more than a chicken egg.
There is a lot of talk on Vietnamese social media these days about this grape which is also being sold under the name of “VIP Variety”. A bag of it costs $ 300 (about 45,000 Pakistani rupees). There are only a few seeds of this grape in a bag and it weighs about one kilogram.
The website “Vietnam Net” quotes local vendors as saying that the grapes are very tasty and full of juice which they import from Japan.
They are also more expensive because, firstly, they are rare, and secondly, because of the quality of the bags. For each VIP variety to be “marketable”, each grain must be between 4 and 5 centimeters wide. In this way, only a few grains in a bag weighs a kilogram or more.
Despite being very expensive, these grapes are becoming very popular in Vietnam. One shopkeeper said that when she advertised these rare grapes on social media, she had sold fifty bags of these grapes in just a few minutes. Now they are waiting for the new shipment because a large section of the Vietnamese people want to buy them.
