Vegetable prices remain high after Tet, farmers excited to harvest in the fields

After Tet, people's demand for safe, fresh, new vegetables increases, so prices are also higher than usual. Currently, the price of green vegetables at markets has increased by about 20-30% compared to before Tet. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Ms. Nguyen Thi Lien (Dai Dong village, Quynh Lien commune, Hoang Mai town) excitedly said: "After Tet, the price of chayote is still high, fluctuating at 7,000-8,000 VND/kg, so we are focusing on harvesting to supply the market." Photo: Thanh Phuc

After selling the carrot crop before Tet at 9,000 VND/kg, people in Hoang Mai and Quynh Luu are currently harvesting the remaining areas. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Households growing herbs in Nam Xuan, Nam Anh (Nam Dan), and Hung Thanh (Hung Nguyen) communes are also taking advantage of the opportunity to cut and sell while prices are rising. The family of Ms. Nguyen Thi Thao (Xuan Son hamlet, Nam Xuan commune) said: "Since the second day of Tet, traders in Vinh have called to place orders in advance. In recent days, taking advantage of the time when herbs are still in high demand, the family has mobilized workers to cut and pick and sell." Photo: Thanh Phuc

After Tet, the demand for green vegetables increased, so farmers in the green areas stayed in the fields to harvest to serve consumers. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Unlike rice, vegetables need to be watered every day, so vegetable growers are almost used to both celebrating Tet and taking care of them. For them, the greatest joy is having a good crop of vegetables, being welcomed by consumers with peace of mind, and having stable prices. Photo: Thanh Phuc
