Prices of many fruits in Tien Giang and Ben Tre have increased due to lack of supply.

Currently, pineapple farmers in Tan Phuoc district, Tien Giang province are very excited when this fruit has a feverish price. At this time, traders come to farmers' pineapple fields to buy grade 1 pineapples at prices ranging from 10,500 - 11,000 VND/kg. This is the highest price in many years, giving a profit of more than 6,000 VND/kg.

The quality of pineapple in Dong Thap Muoi region of Tien Giang province is increasingly high and is favored by the market.

For commercial jackfruit, the price also fluctuates from 35,000 - 40,000 VND/kg (depending on the type), giving gardeners a profit of more than 20,000 VND/kg. As for durian, because it is out of season and scarce, the price is also above 100,000 VND/kg.

In Tien Giang and Ben Tre provinces, coconut growers are also very happy and coconut output is very attractive after many months of sluggish sales.

Currently, the price of raw dry coconut is from 110,000 - 120,000 VND/dozen (12 fruits), an increase of 30,000 - 40,000 VND/dozen compared to last month and double compared to the same period last year. With the current price, each year 1 hectare of coconut brings in an income of nearly 20 million VND.

People use boats to carry dry coconuts to sell.

According to businesses that purchase pineapples, jackfruits, and coconuts, the high prices of these fruits are due to increased demand for purchasing to serve factory production; meanwhile, current output has decreased due to the impact of many months of prolonged drought and salinity.

Due to the high prices, gardeners in these localities are very excited and actively take care of their gardens to achieve high productivity and output, hoping to continue to have a good harvest and good prices in the coming time.
