(HG) - While the prices of many vegetables have gradually cooled down, the price of cucumbers has increased sharply. Specifically, during the Lunar New Year, retail cucumbers at Vi Thanh market, Vi Thanh city, fluctuated at 8,000-10,000 VND/kg, but now the price of cucumbers has doubled, at 18,000-20,000 VND/kg, for good cucumbers, and for worse cucumbers, the price is 10,000 VND/kg.
Cucumber prices are high, growers are excited.
The reason is that the demand for consumption is high, while the weather is hot and sunny, with a lot of fog in the morning, making it easy for diseases to develop on vegetables, so the cucumber output has decreased. Besides cucumber, the retail price of some leafy vegetables is currently at 30,000-35,000 VND/kg, tomatoes 10,000 VND/kg, sweet cabbage 15,000 VND/kg, pumpkin 10,000 VND/kg, green beans 20 VND/kg...
As of February, the whole province had more than 8,503 hectares of vegetables of all kinds, an increase of 304.37 hectares over the same period last year. Estimated output in the first 2 months of 2024 is more than 59,602 tons.
