*For over a month now,Vegetable prices in traditional markets increased dramatically, some leafy vegetables increased 2-3 times compared to before.

According to the investigation of Nghe An Newspaper reporters, the reason for the sudden increase in vegetable prices is due to limited supply. Unfavorable weather conditions in May caused unseasonal rains that caused flooding, causing vegetables to rot and wilt. After that, there were consecutive hot spells accompanied by Lao winds, making it difficult for vegetables to grow, forcing many vegetable growing areas to switch to drought-resistant crops. Meanwhile, some types of fruits and vegetables that were in peak harvest season had crop failures.
