This is the first time the price of oranges has fallen to its lowest level and it is very difficult to sell them in the market. But not only oranges, recently many agricultural and aquatic products often have very low prices, farmers have to suffer large capital losses. The scene of “Planting and cutting, cutting and planting” or the chorus of “Good harvest” is repeated over and over, and the farmer who suffers the most damage is always the farmer. In such a situation, “who is to blame”?
Management planning and market forecasting are not good
To be fair, in the past period, party and state have always had the right policies, all levels and sectors have regularly propagated and mobilized people to comply with the plan, and trades have also regularly advised farmers to follow the plan, do not plant crops or spontaneously raise livestock must adhere to the plan.
However, commodity prices always fluctuate abnormally according to the laws of market economy, especially agricultural and aquatic products rise and fall very quickly according to the law of supply and demand.. Farmers often run for short-term profits, when they see agricultural and aquatic products with high prices, more profits will rush to plant or raise. Since then, of course, the price has fallen when supply exceeds demand.
In order not to repeat the scene of having to call out for “bailout farm products” regularly, it is necessary to pay attention to leadership, drastic direction and focus on the entire political system. The policy of the party has been established, the planning work has also been carried out regularly, the authorities at all levels also have a plan to guide, the Fatherland Front and its branches, levels and mass organizations need to be strengthened, there is also a need to create propaganda and mobilization work, high consensus in of society as a whole, helping people get out of difficult situations quickly because they are struggling to find their own way out.
Getting rid of such a repetitive scene requires more focused direction and synchronous coordination between sectors and levels. There must be a close link in production, especially the link between the state – farmers – entrepreneurs and scientists. In this regard, the administration of the state always plays an important and crucial role, only the state can direct the investigation and supervision of production and consumption of agricultural products and fisheries, as well as predict the situation in the coming period for a centralized management.
Agriculture has accounted for a large part of the economy in recent years as it is an agricultural producer country, but each year it has to import a large amount of vegetables from abroad to meet domestic demand. This is an issue to think about, while local farmers find it difficult, sometimes even impossible, to consume due to the production of an “oversupply” of a given commodity.
This is because farmers cannot know when the market will need agricultural and aquatic products in quantities to calculate production accordingly. The specialized industries that do the advisory work can calculate when, what products and how much to consume through surveys and surveys to plan implementation by farmers.
In addition, at present, the supermarket network and the green department store system are developing strongly, which is a favorable condition for capturing the daily, monthly and annual consumption of agricultural and aquatic products. Each kind with how much only has a tight link mechanism becomes the above problem solve. However, in order for agricultural and aquatic products to get to supermarkets and Bach Hoa Xanh stores, scientists must step in to instruct farmers to produce to prescribed standards, this is an everlasting trend. As society continues to evolve, everyone wants to eat and drink to ensure their health.
Extension of processing for oranges
Back to the problem of orange trees, why are they growing massively in Tra On district, Vinh Long province, although it has been recommended for a long time, in reality it still happens. This means that many households have no choice but to make immediate profits. Especially in an area surrounded by oranges, people with land in the middle often have to follow the trend of cultivating oranges, so in many places the paddy field has been transformed into an “orange field” in many places..
For households that do not have the conditions to grow oranges, they also cannot produce rice because they do not have a machine to produce and harvest when the rice is ripe, destructive rats, and most importantly, using water sources is very difficult as well Conflict problem between farmers in the past in the countryside.
In Vinh Long, in the situation of being trapped in the middle of orange fields, many farmers have chosen another method, such as growing coconut (this is the choice of many people), but they are also afraid that this will easily lead to oversupply and a Demand will lead Coconut prices have also been at low levels lately.
It’s time to drastically innovate the way of management from planning to production, until agricultural and aquatic products reach consumers, strictly managing all stages, promptly eliminating difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process, so that the connection of “four houses” practically will impact.
This is also an inevitable trend as our country integrates more and more deeply into the world. If it is not done well, it will not be possible to compete in the international market with the increasing demand for quality products, including agricultural and aquatic products.
Orange trees must be planned to be planted at reasonable scale, produced according to export standards, applying scientific and technical advances, especially processing technology, and can be made into soft drinks for preservation and consumption in the market and considering not only oranges but also many other fruits like processing fresh coconut water instead of filtered water will also be very good for human health.
Do not anchor fruit for too long
Ms. Do Thi Phuong Khanh, representative of Khanh Nhan Orange Crockery Cooperative in Thong Nguyen Hamlet, Loan My Township, Tam Binh District, Vinh Long Province, said: Currently, tableware prices have risen more than before. In the garden, beautiful oranges cost between 4,000 and 5,000 VND/kg. On the market, oranges also cost 7,000 to 8,000 VND/kg. Cheap oranges from 2,000 to 3,000 VND/kg are driftwood, fruits from silk tree areas (first harvest), overripe oranges… Orange prices have also increased since last week. Currently, the area of unharvested oranges in the village is also not large. “Life oranges are no longer available when there are very few in other areas,” Ms Khanh said.
Speaking about the reason why the price of oranges has dropped dramatically lately, Khanh said that before the Lunar New Year, oranges also had a high price of VND10,000-12,000/kg, but people were waiting for the price. As a result, pre-Tet production stagnated locally, causing prices to drop. She also recommended oranges should be sold when they are ripe and not anchored to the tree as this not only depletes the tree but also causes congestion, lowers the quality of the oranges, not consuming all of them, lowers the price and the Quality affects the fruit for households with later-ripening oranges.
