Dong Thap has more than 4,800 tons of longan stuck The tense Covid-19 situation has caused 4,800 tons of longan in Chau Thanh to be ready for harvest but difficult to sell, the fruit has started to spoil, making many garden owners anxious. At noon in July, Ms. Nguyen Thi Khoi walked around the 5,000 m2 longan garden in An Hoa hamlet, An Nhon commune, Chau Thanh district with a worried face. Because in the garden there were more than 2 tons of unsold longan, ripe fruit fell all over the ground, the remaining fruit on the tree that was not cracked was also dark. Over the past 10 days, she has called many traders but most of them shook their heads and refused to buy, citing the epidemic, difficulty in transportation, and difficulty in consumption. “There is only one longan season a year, selling for 5,000-6,000 VND per kilo but no one is buying. I am at risk of losing all these longan and I don’t know what to live on in the future,” Ms. Khoi said sadly. #Dong_Thap #Chau_Thanh
