(Baonghean.vn) - In contrast to the sluggish situation and record low vegetable prices at the beginning of the month, currently, the price of green vegetables in Nghe An has increased 3 times, and the amount of vegetables sold on the market is not much.

CommuneDien Phongis one of the localities with the largest vegetable area in Dien Chau district (Nghe An). After Tet, vegetable prices here have continuously decreased, at times only 300 - 500 VND/kg in the field but still cannot be consumed, forcing organizations and unions to join hands to rescue.

However, up to now, vegetable prices in Dien Phong have suddenly increased sharply, 3-4 times higher than in early March.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Van, a resident of Dien Phong commune (Dien Chau) said: "On March 29, some traders came here to buy cabbage at 1,500 VND/kg. Each cabbage weighing 2-3 kg has a price ranging from 3,000 - 4,500 VND in the field, this is the highest price since after Tet holiday until now".

However, the amount of vegetables that farmers can sell at this time is not much. If at the beginning of the season, Dien Phong commune had 40 hectares of vegetables of all kinds, by the end of March 2021, organizations and unions had rescued 30 hectares of vegetables with a volume of nearly 1,000 tons (rescue price of 1,000 VND/ear). Currently, there are only about 10 hectares of late-harvested vegetables sold at prices from 3,000 - 4,500 VND/ear, so only households growing the next crop can sell at this price.

In the vegetable areas outside Vinh City, vegetable prices are also currently at a high level after many months. Mrs. Phan Thi Thuan in the hamletVinh Xuan(Hung Dong) said: "If after Tet, the price of chrysanthemum greens, sprouts, herbs... was only 1,000 - 3,000 VND/bunch but still no one bought them, now it has increased to 8,000 - 10,000 VND/bunch in the field. However, due to the sluggish situation, most people have pulled out or sold off vegetables at cheap prices since a month ago, the number of households with vegetables to sell on this occasion is not much."

According to Ms. Bui Thi Hoan, a vegetable trader at Vinh wholesale market, the reason for the sharp increase in vegetable prices is that this is no longer the main vegetable growing season, the amount of vegetables supplied to the market is not as abundant as a month ago, especially as it is entering the hot season, when green vegetables are popular.

Besides, the epidemic situation is now better controlled, traders have started to buy vegetables to supply large markets, soconsumestronger

However, according to the recommendation of the provincial Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection, localities and people should not, because of the high price of vegetables, massively expand vegetable acreage, breaking the planning, leading to the situation of good harvest but low price as in the past. Instead, it is necessary to carefully study.market, choose vegetable varieties suitable for each locality, at the same time need to promote linkages to ensure output for agricultural products.
