Japanese honey apples costing millions are popular among rich Vietnamese people.
In recent years, Japanese honey apples have been imported to Vietnam and sold at high-end imported fruit stores. Customers love this type of apple because it has a high honey content, is crunchy, and sweet. Japanese honey apples have a transparent core like honey, and when sliced and held under the sunlight, the light can see through it.
However, this fruit from Japan is the most expensive compared to other apples sold in our country, up to 1.3 - 1.5 million VND/kg.
The manager of a high-end fruit store in Phan Chu Trinh (Hoan Kiem, Hanoi) admitted that rich Vietnamese people spend billions to buy Japanese honey apples to eat.

The truth about the specialty chicken sold for 45,000 VND/chicken on the "online market"
For nearly a month now, free range chickens have been flooding the “online market” with super cheap prices, half the price of tough chickens. There are types that cost only 45,000 VND/cleanly slaughtered chicken weighing 1.2 - 1.4 kg. This price has surprised many people about this specialty.
However, Mr. Nguyen Van Tan - a chicken seller in Thuong Tin (Hanoi) - said that this is a hybrid chicken, not a purebred chicken. Currently, there are many farms raising this type of chicken in an industrial way (ie feeding it with industrial feed). Roosters are sold separately by weight, while hens are sold by the bird.

Saffron bulbs are sold cheaply in Vietnam
Saffron pistil(saffron) has been making waves in the market recently, with sky-high prices ranging from 350-450 million VND/kg, sometimes reaching 700 million VND/kg. Therefore, many people are trying to buy saffron bulbs with the hope of growing the Middle East's "red gold" in Vietnam.
Taking advantage of this psychology, many people sell saffron bulbs. With prices ranging from 15,000 to 35,000 VND/bulb, many people spend millions of VND to buy saffron bulbs to plant. But many people get upset because they "lose money and get nothing".
Having sold saffron bulbs since 2016, Ms. Pham Thi Nguyet (residing in Thuan Thanh, Bac Ninh) told Dan Viet newspaper that saffron only grows well and best in Mediterranean climate conditions and cannot be grown in Vietnam.
