The article highlights the challenges faced by farmers at Tuy Loan Safe Vegetable Production and Service Cooperative in Da Nang due to the Covid-19 pandemic and unfavorable weather conditions. Specifically, the recurring epidemic has significantly impacted the market value and demand for key crops, such as chili peppers and squash, leading to substantial financial losses for the farmers. The chili pepper, usually selling for 20,000-30,000 VND/kg under normal circumstances, has seen its price plummet to 5,000 VND/kg, causing issues with over-ripening and plant death.

However, the lack of stable output and consumer interest in these products poses further challenges for the farmers.
