Tridge summary

Over 1,300 tons of agricultural produce, including yellow rice longan, cinnamon longan, and dragon fruit, is left unsold in Xuyen Moc District, Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, Vietnam, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on market demand. The situation is part of a larger problem in the Mekong Delta region, where farmers face challenges in selling rice and sticky rice due to social distancing measures and the loss of traditional markets. The pandemic has also led to lower prices for agricultural products, affecting farmers' incomes and their ability to cover living expenses during the epidemic season. An Giang province specifically struggles with an oversupply of around 150,000 tons of sticky rice that cannot be sold, as Chinese traders, a key buyer, are no longer purchasing. Local authorities are seeking solutions and urging central ministries and corporations to purchase rice from farmers to address the issue.
