The prices of Thai jackfruits, Taiwanese green mangoes, and pineapples in the Mekong Delta plunged simultaneously, causing many households to fall into reduced circumstances because of losses.
Many traders have been seeking to buy Thai jackfruit in the Mekong Delta, causing the price to go up from VND50,000 to VND60,000 VND per kilogram, which ensures high profits of hundreds of millions of Vietnamese dong per hectare per year for farmers, according to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Chau Thanh District in Hau Giang Province.
