Thai Hoa Youth "rescues" pineapples to help farmers

Currently, the price of pineapple in the pineapple growing area of ​​Quynh Thang commune (Quynh Luu) is only 1,000 - 1,500 VND/kg, while the production cost is about 2,000 - 2,500 VND/kg, causing farmers to suffer.

To support the people, the volunteer youth group of Nghia Hoa commune has taken on the responsibility of purchasing pineapples. In addition to organizing the harvesting and transportation, they are also responsible for finding outlets for the fruit, with a guaranteed profit of 3,500 VND/kg.

Thanks to the widespread promotion on social networking sites, many people have come to the volunteer team's sales points to buy, some buy as little as 2kg, some buy as much as nearly 50kg. For customers who live far away and cannot come to the location, the team will deliver to their homes.

On the first day of operation, the team sold about 3 tons of pineapple. It is expected that this time, it will help people consume about 10 - 15 tons of pineapple.
