The ripe pineapples are fragrant, the flesh inside is full of honey, a specialty fruit of Lao Cai that is pouring into Hanoi in recent days. Worth mentioning, this honey pineapple is currently for sale at a fairly cheap price.
In recent days, when she finished preparing dinner, Ms. Ngo Yen Nhu from Yen Lang (Dong Da, Hanoi) took advantage of peeling a few pineapples to squeeze the juice and adding pieces as a dessert fruit after each meal.
It took a lot of time because peeling pineapple was not my forte, but in return, she and her family could enjoy a glass of pineapple juice or a piece of sweet pineapple honey.
Ms. Nhu called this honey pineapple “delicious and cheap”. Because, in the past, if buying pineapple honey with small fruit, it was about 15,000 VND, large fruit over 1kg cost 25,000-35,000 VND. Now, 55,000 VND, she can buy 10 fruits. Not to mention, pineapple bought to eat gradually so that the house is still ripe and fragrant, creating a very pleasant feeling.
“The first time I bought a small type of about 5-6 ounces each, priced at 5,500 VND/fruit. Now, I can find a place to sell large fruits about 1-1.2 kg / fruit for only 9,000 VND, so I conveniently order 20 fruits to eat gradually.“, she says.
Honeydew pineapple is in the harvest season, for sale on the online market at a fairly cheap price.
Ms. Doan Thi Lam – a focal point selling fruit online in Cau Giay (Hanoi) said that Muong Khuong honey pineapple in Lao Cai is in the midst of a full harvest. This pineapple is mainly grown for export but now it is difficult. Therefore, the specialty fruit of Lao Cai is selling more in the domestic market and the price is also cheaper.
She is accepting orders for pineapples in a set of 10 for 55,000 VND. Accordingly, every day pineapple returns a trip to return orders placed by customers.
“Because it is in the main season, the pineapple is ripe with the right aroma. The pineapple meat inside is oozing with sweet nectar. In particular, this kind of pineapple does not burn your tongue, so women love to buy it“, she says. Therefore, pineapple is an extremely attractive product for customers to order.
Like yesterday, she posted the last time she received an order for a trip to Muong Khuong honey pineapple on Friday morning, but there were nearly 700 pineapples ordered by customers in just one afternoon. Accumulating two days of collecting orders, the next pineapple trip must be about 2,000 fruits to be able to return the goods.
The price of Lao Cai specialty honey is only 5,500-9,000 VND/fruit depending on the weight
Ms. Bui Thi Nguyen from Ha Dong (Hanoi) also revealed that because honey pineapples are cheap, she sells out a car of pineapples about 3.5 tons from Lao Cai every two days.
In the middle of February, Muong Khuong honey pineapple still costs up to 280,000-300,000 VND/10kg. Now she is selling for 90,000 VND/10 fruit, weighing from 8-1.2 kg/fruit. However, this is the price of unpeeled pineapple, still intact so that customers can buy it for a longer time.
Many people are afraid to peel pineapple because it takes time. However, customers still massively closed orders. Some customers buy 10 fruits, others buy 20. Because, families not only buy food to eat but also make pineapple juice, Nguyen said.
Information from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Muong Khuong district, from now until the end of May, the pineapple capital of this district enters the main harvest season with an output of about 8,000 tons.
Pineapple capital Muong Khuong is in the midst of a busy harvest, and prices are down sharply compared to the previous crop.
This is an area where pineapples are grown to provide raw materials for processing factories to make canned pineapples for export to Russia. However, the Russian-Ukrainian war occurred, affecting pineapple consumption, and processing enterprises purchased in moderation, causing pineapple prices to decrease.
Accordingly, the price of pineapple at the moment is only about 3,500-4,500 VND/kg, equal to 50-60% of the price of the previous crop.
Muong Khuong district is shifting to focus on consumption in the domestic market. The district has worked with retail systems as well as processing enterprises to support pineapple consumption for farmers. Therefore, the situation of buying pineapples for people began to be more favorable.
