[Photos] People in An Thanh, Vinh Lap communes collect over 20 tons of ruoi/day

This year, the yield of ruoi averages 30 kg per sao (360 m²), equivalent to last year’s figure.

This has been the biggest harvest so far this season. On November 24 alone, people in the two communes collected more than 20 tons of ruoi. It is expected that the harvest will last until the end of November 27.

Currently, traders are buying ruoi on the spot for 330,000 - 350,000 VND/kg, down 20,000 - 30,000 VND/kg compared to the previous year.

The price of ruoi decreased because of many difficulties in exporting ruoi to China this year. Ruoi is mainly sold in and outside the province.

According to ruoi exploitation households in An Thanh and Vinh Lap communes, this year, ruoi appeared later than previous years due to changes in weather.

Right on the morning of November 24, when the north wind comes with light rain - the typical weather signaling a ruoi harvest, many traders flock to An Thanh commune, Tu Ky district, to buy ruoi
