Some traders have taken advantage of the congestion to force lychee prices down, even to 7,000 - 8,000 VND (0.31 - 0.36 USD) per kg (Photo: VNA)
Nguyen Thi Tinh, a lychee farmer, said some traders played tricks such as driving big trucks to obstruct roads and cause congestions so as to buy lychees at low prices (Photo: VNA)
