Less Mekong Delta fruit, higher prices
The price of fruit in the Mekong Delta has risen recently as the impact of drought and salt water intrusion has caused fruit output to decline, while demand has increased. Tien Giang province authorities have also implemented several measures, including strictly monitoring the salt content of water and informing farmers to pump water into their ponds when there is fresh water, to protect the province’s more than 60,000 ha of fruits.
