Hanoi seeking ways to save low-priced daikon radishesHanoi authorities on March 16 held a meeting to seek measures to help farmers boost sales of daikon radishes which are facing incredibly low prices. After Tet Holiday, radish prices have dropped sharply due to the slow sales to around VND1,500-2,000 (6.5-8.6 US cents) per kilo. Hoang Thi Sang in Dong Cao Village said that it costs roughly VND3 million (USD136.3) for every 360 square metres of radish. Lots of farmers in Dong Cao Village have to pull out the radishes in order to plant other vegetables. Farmers in Trang Viet Commune have been estimated to lose around VND2 billion (USD91,000) in total for the slow radish consumption.
