Tien Giang: Vegetable prices increase, farmers are excited

(ABO) Recently, vegetable prices in Tien Giang province have increased. Farmers are making good profits and are very excited.

Prices of many vegetables are high.

In the eastern districts of the province, after the rainy season began, water sources for production were favorable, farmers increased vegetable planting. According to records, at this time, prices of many types of leafy vegetables and fruits are at high levels.

Mr. Tran Cong Thanh's family (Thanh Phu hamlet, Thanh Tri commune, Go Cong Tay district) grows 1 hectare of vegetables. Because the water source is favorable this year, his family plants continuously. This year, the family sows green mustard and sells it for 7,500 VND/kg.

Mr. Thanh shared: “For more than a week now, vegetable prices have increased again, so everyone is happy, recovering from the previous crop. But more than a month ago, vegetables were only priced at 3,000 - 4,000 VND/kg, so profits were very low; any garden that failed would be considered to have lost all the wages.”

Vegetable farmers ensure profits thanks to output guaranteed by cooperatives.

According to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Quang, Director of Hoa Thanh Agricultural Cooperative (Binh Tan Commune, Go Cong Tay District), for about a week now, vegetable prices have begun to increase. Currently, the prices of many types of vegetables in the area such as: green mustard, sweet mustard, Chinese cabbage, Malabar spinach... are at a high level, ranging from 7,000 - 8,000 VND/kg. Particularly, fruits such as: squash, pumpkin, luffa, bitter melon, cucumber... have also increased sharply, at an average of 8,000 - 10,000 VND/kg. In particular, some types of prices have increased up to 12,000 - 13,000 VND/kg.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Quang added: “The price of vegetables has increased by about 5,000 VND/kg compared to nearly 2 months ago. Previously, the price of vegetables almost hit rock bottom; there were cases where they could not be sold, so gardeners had to uproot them.

The price of vegetables has increased again, so farmers are very happy. With this price, farmers make a lot of profit. However, because it is the rainy season, the productivity is not as good as in the favorable months.
