Their joy is boosted with prices ranging between 133,000 – 140,000 VND (6.3 – 6.6 USD) per kilogram while pepper-growing countries of Brazil and Indonesia are hit hard by a recent severe drought spell, said Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Pepper Association (VPA) Do Ha Nam.
According to the VPA, the Central Highlands province of Dak Nong has recorded higher year-on-year yield with some households seeing a rise of 30-40 percent.
Growers in Dak Lak and Gia Lai provinces in the region also see abundant crops that go up 20-30 percent.
