Dong Nai: Farmers regret seeing prices increase

This year's harvest, cashew nuts prices are at record highs compared to every year. The price of fresh from the beginning to the middle of the crop is always from 47-50 thousand VND / kg. Although about a week back at the end of the season, fresh cashew has dropped to more than 40 thousand per kg, but this price is still about 30% higher than the same period last year.

Mr. Duy Khanh (Phu Son commune, Tan Phu district) has to germinate every thing because the orchard is only sparse fruit.

According to the cashew processing business, the price of the cooler at the end of the season is partly due to the deterioration in the quality of cashews every year; On the other hand, due to the influence of the world price of cashew is approaching harvest season. Prediction, cashew production in many countries around the world is still good in this year's harvest.

* The risk of white hands

Pointing to the limpid orchards, many trees burned tops, Vu Duc Hoa, a farmer in Dong Hoa commune (Trang Bom district), grumbled: "This year, farmers grow the white thing losers. Looking at the high prices that make gardeners more pity because there is no sign for sale. There are garden owners who leave the trees, farmers have to borrow money to buy medicine to spray the plants to attack the disease.

Together with the above, Nguyen Thi Hong's family has a cashew orchard in Dong Hoa commune (Trang Bom district), worried: "Every year, the harvesting scene here is very busy. This garden is quiet this year, farmers are discouraged not want to go to the garden. Last year, my family earned 200 million VND from cashew field. All the children's education costs are spent on it, this year it does not manage to work out. "

Mr. Phan Chinh, Head of High Performance Productive Club in Suoi Cat Commune (Xuan Loc District), compares: "More than 4 hectares of my family have only few sao for harvest, but productivity is also much lower Compared to every year. I have to sell a few drugs, I have to buy medicine to spray to prevent the disease, the tree. Recently, the rainy season has continued to appear, some gardeners have delayed the delayed expectation of earning more or less as if lost white. "

Processing depends on the input

Nguyen Thi Tuyet, owner of agricultural products in Suoi Cao commune (Xuan Loc district), said: "This case, the same series of crop failure, so from the beginning of the crop so far I do not buy much. This year, not only farmers but traders also lost revenue because cashew nuts fell sharply in terms of output, quality is also worse. At the price of sudden drop of nearly 10 thousand compared with the beginning of the season, the collection agents also have to calculate the shipments are all pushed away, avoid the risk of goods, prices fall.

An Vien Cashew Zone (Trang Bom district) has long been famous for its cashew yield and quality. This is also the first area of ​​Dong Nai selected for large cashew field projects. This year's harvest, farmers participate in large fields also lose heavy season.

Mr. Pham Van Tuan, owner of private enterprise Tuan Sang, head of the big cashew project of An Vien, said: "Last year, I bought tons of cashew nuts in An Vien area, nowadays every day. Just over 1 quintal. The output of cashew in Dong Nai every year reaches 10 parts, now only 1-2 parts. The failure of the crop, the sharp decrease in output made the cashew processing industry also reduced profits.

According to Tuan, in the country for cashew harvesting, many processing enterprises still rely on stockpiling from stockpiles last year. Many businesses now have to produce to wait until the harvest of the world. The price of import is also increased by 20-30% compared to last year, which makes processing enterprises more difficult.
