(HG) - Due to increased consumer demand, the price of fresh coconuts in Hau Giang has increased by VND5,000/dozen of 12 fruits compared to about a month ago. Specifically, the price of fresh coconuts bought in bulk is currently at VND35,000/dozen, traders break them themselves, garden owners only count the dozen to pay. Traders said that the increase in coconut prices is due to the current lack of coconut supply, while at this time near Tet, people's demand for consumption increases for thirst quenching, cooking... so traders have to go buy early from coconut growers to serve the needs of the Tet market. The price of dried coconuts is at VND50,000-60,000/dozen.
Fresh coconut prices have increased sharply, making growers very excited.
Coconut is an easy-to-grow tree, requires little care, and requires low investment costs. After 3-6 years of planting, the coconut tree bears fruit. There are many coconut varieties that produce high yields of about 100 fruits/tree/year, so many farmers choose to grow them to develop their family economy .
