Through research, the price of acacia wood in key districts such as Anh Son, Con Cuong, Tuong Duong all reached 1.1-1.2 million VND/ton. Some districts such as Yen Thanh, Do Luong even reached 1.3 million VND/ton, an increase of 300,000-500,000 VND/ton compared to previous years.
It is known that the export of wood chips and charcoal from acacia is on the rise, so not only domestic enterprises, but also many foreign enterprises are rushing in to purchase.
The difficulty for acacia growers in the province is that the transportation system for raw material areas has not been invested in, so transporting acacia is very difficult. In many places, traders are forcing down prices because of difficult access.
Currently, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development recommends that districts plant acacia trees as soon as they are harvested; and directs localities to plant acacia trees according to planning, not to follow the acacia "fever" to avoid the situation of having a good harvest but falling prices like previous years.
Hybrid glue is priced well.
(Baonghean.vn) - It is now the time for Quy Hop, Tan Ky, Con Cuong, and Do Luong localities to harvest raw acacia. The increase in acacia prices at this time is a cause for excitement for forest growers.
Struggling to increase the value of hybrid glue
(Baonghean)-Most of the forestry land in mountainous districts is used to grow acacia for processing wood chips for export. However, the economic efficiency that acacia trees have brought to people in recent years is now declining. The problem of improving the efficiency of using forestry land with other crops of higher economic value has not yet found a solution.
