(Baonghean.vn)ButIn the Vinh City market today, pineapple is one of the most popular fruits because it is delicious, refreshing, and affordable for consumers.
Pineapples are a popular choice for many people to buy as a refreshing treat on hot days and to use in various dishes. Ms. Thuy Hang from Quang Trung ward, Vinh city, said: "I often buy pineapples, especially during the hot season. Pineapples are quite cheap; the vendor peels one for 8,000-10,000 VND, which is cheaper than other fruits and tastes very good."
Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha, who has nearly 20 years of experience selling pineapples at Quang Trung market, said: "Each day I peel and sell 100-150 pineapples, depending on the weather. If it's sunny, I sell more; if it rains, the sales decrease. On average, I make a profit of 3,000-4,000 VND per pineapple, and if I'm lucky, I can earn 200,000-300,000 VND."
