Farmers in Tan Phuoc District, Tien Giang Province, are delighted as their pineapple crops are experiencing a surge in prices. Currently, traders are flocking to the farmers’ fields, offering to purchase high-quality pineapples at a price ranging from VND 10,500 to 11,000 per kg. This is the highest price in many years, resulting in a profit of over VND 6,000 per kg.
The quality of pineapples in the Dong Thap Muoi region of Tien Giang Province continues to improve and is well-received by the market.
Commercial jackfruit prices are also fluctuating between VND 35,000 and 40,000 per kg, depending on the variety, resulting in a profit of over VND 20,000 per kg for growers. Meanwhile, durian prices remain high, exceeding VND 100,000 per kg due to the off-season and limited supply.
In Tien Giang and Ben Tre provinces, farmers who cultivate coconut trees are also thrilled as the demand for coconuts has increased significantly after a period of sluggish sales.
The current price of raw coconuts ranges from VND 110,000 to 120,000 per dozen (12 coconuts), which is an increase of VND 30,000 to 40,000 per dozen compared to the previous month and double the price from the same period last year. With the current prices, each hectare of coconut trees can generate an annual income of nearly VND 20 million.
People use boats to transport coconuts for sale.
According to traders who purchase pineapples, jackfruits, and coconuts, the increase in prices is attributed to the rising demand from processing factories, while the supply has decreased due to the impact of prolonged saltwater intrusion in previous months.
With the favorable prices, farmers in these areas are highly motivated to care for their crops, aiming to achieve higher yields and production. They are hopeful for continued prosperity and profitable prices in the coming months.
