Accordingly, fresh areca nuts have increased in price continuously, about 8 times higher than last year.

Areca nuts were sold for VND40,000 per kg at the beginning of the season, then increased sharply to VND80,000 - VND90,000 per kg.

Notably, in the same period last year, the price of fresh areca nuts fluctuated from VND5,000 - VND7,000 per kg.

The price of dried areca nuts has increased to VND500,000 - VND570,000 per kg.

The reason for the skyrocketing price of areca nuts is that China has increased its purchasing.
