Currently, Vietnamese-Chinese border traders continue to purchase large quantities of peanut kernels from Nghe An, averaging 7-8 trucks per day, equivalent to 200-230 tons, at stable prices. Specifically, bulk peanuts were priced at 36,500 - 37,500 VND/kg, but the price has tended to decrease due to the depreciation of the Chinese Yuan. However, overall, the price remains higher than the same period in 2015. Peanut kernels from Nghe An have also been purchased by businesses in the South, but in limited quantities.

Mr. Vo Minh Tuan, Deputy Head of the Import-Export Management Department of the Department of Industry and Trade, said that since the beginning of the season, traders from the North and China have come all the way to Nghe An to purchase agricultural products. In response to this situation, the Department of Industry and Trade leadership has assigned the Market Management Sub-department to coordinate with relevant authorities in the area to proactively monitor, inspect, and supervise the purchase of agricultural products in the area, detecting and strictly handling organizations and individuals engaging in the buying and selling of goods contrary to the law. Furthermore, they are guiding and facilitating traders to purchase goods quickly and conveniently, preventing revenue losses for the state budget.
According to data reported by the Statistics Department, the area planted with peanuts in the spring crop reached 14,735.7 hectares (a decrease of 371.3 hectares compared to 2015). The expected yield is 24.34 quintals/hectare, with an estimated production of 35,868 tons of fresh peanuts. After deducting approximately 30% for seed and consumption within the province, about 10,000 tons of peanut kernels will be consumed domestically and exported. |
