It is currently the harvest season but the selling price is low, so the people are not very excited," Mr. Nguyen Xuan Truong shared.

Huong Son Agricultural Service - Small Industry Cooperative is the main ginger purchasing and consuming unit in Ky Son district. According to Mr. Nguyen Van Luan, Director of the Cooperative, at the beginning of the season, the price of ginger was 20,000 VND/kg, but the price got lower as the season progressed. Currently, the unit is purchasing for people at 6,000 VND/kg, the lowest price in recent years.

The reason why ginger prices have fallen sharply this year, according to Mr. Luan, is because transportation costs have increased this year, so businesses are not interested in exporting. Meanwhile, Ky Son ginger is difficult to consume domestically because its appearance is not as beautiful as ginger products from other localities, even though its quality is better.
Besides, this year, Ky Son's ginger acreage is larger than previous years and there is a situation of supply exceeding demand.
