Pineapple prices in several regions of Vietnam have risen by 2,000 VND per fruit in the last 10 days due to a decrease in supply. The hot season has slowed growth and resulted in smaller fruits, and there has been a common occurrence of pineapple trees dying this year. Despite the price increase, farmers have fewer pineapples to sell. The high prices are expected to continue due to the limited supply. Hau Giang province, a major pineapple growing area, currently has over 2,800 hectares of pineapples, with nearly 2,400 hectares bearing fruit.
