Pepper prices in the domestic market remained stable at the end of the week. Currently, pepper prices in all directions fluctuate around 71,500 – 75,000 VND/kg. After a sharp increase last week, pepper prices this week fluctuated slightly and tended to move sideways. The pepper market is still going through a series of gloomy days when businesses are still slow to purchase due to sufficient supply of orders, while people’s psychology of hoarding goods remains high. Currently, it is still the time to receive goods signed last year, so foreign customers have not signed new contracts. That leads to Vietnamese exporters not buying and storing goods, causing pepper prices to decrease. With pepper prices not increasing compared to the current prices of raw materials, investment in the new crop of pepper farmers will be limited. Farmers’ continued lack of investment will cause pepper gardens to yield low yields, affecting the overall yield and output of the 2022-2023 crop. Currently, the Central Highlands region is at the peak of the rainy season, with heavy rainfall and high humidity. This makes it easy for pests and diseases to arise on crops. Therefore, local farmers are focusing on22 caring for and preventing diseases for their gardens according to the recommendations of the agricultural sector. For pepper, which is currently in the stage of flower bud differentiation and young fruit setting, if not properly cared for, it can easily lead to crop failure. The agricultural sector recommends that farmers take measures to prune shade branches, cut off branches touching the ground, and dig drainage ditches. The pests that cause a lot of damage to pepper during the rainy season are all dangerous, such as: Nematodes, quick death, slow death… Therefore, farmers need to focus on effectively preventing and controlling these diseases. According to experts, for the pepper industry to gradually recover its previous position, it means that the entire industry has a clear plan for production area and quality, as well as a clear understanding of pepper production information in other countries, balancing supply and demand, avoiding the situation of production following trends and then cutting down and converting like in recent years. #pepper #hotpepper #news #agriculture #nhanong #mientay #taynguyen #pepper #pepper price today #pepper price #pepper today #pepper price udaklak #pepper price ubinhphuoc #pepper price dongnai #the latest pepper price
