This year, the amount of peaches has decreased sharply compared to 2020 due to the epidemic, which has made it difficult to import peaches from Laos and the ban on cutting down wild peaches. The decrease in supply has caused the price of peaches to be high, double that of previous years. Photo: Quang An |
