Since the morning of the 5th day of Tet, in the vegetable fields of the coastal area of ​​Quynh Luu district, many people have harvested vegetables and tubers of all kinds to import to traders.

Ms. Pham Thi Hong in Hamlet 7, Quynh Minh Commune said that in general, vegetable prices have increased slightly compared to before Tet. Some vegetables are being replaced by green onions because this item is priced well, from 8,000 to 10,000 VND/kg but still not available for sale.

While urgently preparing the land to make beds, Ms. Ho Thi Thu in Hamlet 3, Quynh Luong Commune said that because the price of green onions is high, on the morning of the 4th day of Tet, she took advantage of going to the field early to prepare the land to switch to growing green onions. According to Ms. Thu, the reason for the increase in the price of green onions is because this item is scarce, currently most of the green onions in the field have not reached the harvest stage.

A vegetable buyer said that since the 4th day of Tet, customers from the provinces have placed orders to buy vegetables from the fields for people.

Mr. Ho Nguyen Tuan - Vice Chairman of Quynh Luong Commune People's Committee said that the time from planting to harvesting green onions is about 2 months. Now the price has increased to 10,000 VND/kg, farmers have a good profit, about 7 - 8 million VND/sao, which is an exciting motivation for farmers to produce right from the beginning of the year.

According to Mr. Dau Duc Nam - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Quynh Luu district, after Tet, people in the coastal area have harvested vegetables, in general, prices have increased slightly compared to the time before Tet, in which green onions have increased the most. Currently, the coastal area of ​​Quynh Luu has about 100 hectares of green onions, most of which are in the development stage.

Faced with the reality that many families harvest other vegetables to switch to growing green onions, Mr. Dau Duc Nam recommends that people should not follow the market, to avoid the situation of oversupply, when the price will easily drop sharply.
