Hundreds of tons of VietGAP carrots in Hoang Mai town have dropped in price.

Hoai Thu • February 16, 2025 08:24

Entering the end of the harvest season, despite a good harvest, dozens of tons of VietGAP standard carrots, also a 3-star OCOP product in Quynh Lien commune (Hoang Mai town), have dropped in price dozens of times compared to before Tet.

After the full moon of January, on the VietGAP vegetable fields in Quynh Lien commune, Hoang Mai town, people are still actively harvesting. Carrots, radishes, chayote, green onions, kohlrabi... are vegetables, tubers, and fruits grown year-round. Of which, chayote and fresh carrots have been grown according to VietGAP standards since 2017 and have been recognized as meeting 3-star OCOP standards in 2023. Photo: HT

Ho Van Tinh's family in Hamlet 5, Quynh Lien Commune planted 6 sao of carrots this year. Mr. Tinh said that this year's carrots had a good harvest, with a high yield of about 55 quintals/ha. By February 13, 2025, after more than 3 months of planting, Mr. Tinh's family had finished harvesting 4 sao, and currently there are still 2 sao being harvested. However, since the Lunar New Year, the price of carrots has dropped sharply, from 12,000 VND/kg to 500 VND/kg. Photo: HT

At this time, carrots have entered the "over-ripe" stage, so households in Quynh Lien commune have to rush to harvest, hire more people to pull and pack them, waiting for traders to buy. Photo: HT

Carrot growers said that because they harvested too large carrots (about 2-3 carrots/kg), they were difficult to sell, because traders only bought carrots of average weight. Companies and supermarkets also only imported carrots of the same size, about 4-6 carrots/kg. Photo: HT

Carrots are packed in the field with a weight of 10kg/bag. Photo: HT

Mr. Nguyen Van Thuyet, a land and agriculture official of the People's Committee of Quynh Lien commune, said that in the commune, there are 5 hamlets that mainly produce agriculture, growing seasonal vegetables, tubers, and fruits. Of which, the hamlets grow about 120 hectares of carrots, with a yield of 50 - 60 tons/ha. Photo: HT

People only choose beautiful tubers to import to traders, remove cracked tubers, tubers with bad shapes and sell them for 100 - 200 VND/kg to deer farmers. The leaves are used as fertilizer and feed for buffalo and cows. Photo: HT
