| Pineapple harvesting is very hard work. In addition to having to climb high hills and being pricked by sharp pineapple thorns, pineapple harvesters must also have great endurance to be able to carry full baskets of pineapples from the hills to the truck. The daily wage for harvesting pineapples is from 250,000 - 300,000 VND/day. Photo: Quang An |

| According to traders, in early April, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, pineapples were difficult to export to other countries, mainly for domestic consumption, so the price of pineapples dropped to 3,000 VND/kg, in recent days the price has increased to nearly 5,000 VND/kg. With this price, farmers have had a revenue of over 100 million VND/ha. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

| Currently, the whole Quynh Luu district has over 1,000 hectares of pineapples grown mainly in the communes of Tan Thang, Quynh Thang, and Quynh Chau. To accompany pineapple growers, Mr. Phan Tien Dung - Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Thang commune said that the locality has invited all traders to work and sign a commitment not to speculate and force down prices. At the same time, prices are regularly announced on the public address system for all people to know. Therefore, people are always confident in growing and caring for pineapples to achieve high productivity and stable output. Photo: Xuan Hoang |
