Cucumber prices are rising.

Recently, many farmers in My Long commune have been delighted as cucumbers are being purchased by traders at prices ranging from 20,000 to 24,000 VND/kg, a price more than double that of recent seasons.

Cucumber production has decreased due to weather conditions, while selling prices have increased.

Ms. Le Thi Hong Tuoi (Hamlet 2, My Long Commune), who has two plots of cucumbers, said: "Entering the rainy season, cucumber yields have decreased, with an average harvest of only about 50 kg per day. Currently, cucumbers are being bought by traders at a price of over 20,000 VND/kg. The harvesting period lasts about a month, so growers have a decent income. However, heavy rains also increase the risk of pests and diseases, forcing farmers to intensify care to protect yield and product quality."
