Mr.Duong Van Diem in Dong village said that compared with last year, the price of cabbage had increased from 4000 dong to about 10000-12000 dong per kg, or that of cauliflower had also risen from 6000 dong to 12000-13000 dong per big plant. According to Mr.Diem, at this moment, the vegetables with highest price are mostly leafy vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, malabar spinach and so on because these are suitable for hotpot in the cold weather. Mr.Tran Van May – chairman of Van Noi Cooperative of fresh vegetables Consumption and Processing said that thanks to nice weather there was the bumper crop in vegetables. “When farmers sowed, transplanted vegetables, it is warm; when farmers are about to harvest it is rather cold so vegetables look good and tasty.
