Abnormal weather late last year and earlier this year has caused losses for farmers in southern provinces of Dong Nai and Binh Phuoc, reported the Vietnam News Agency. Pepper growers have also suffered similar losses, with hundreds of hectares of pepper destroyed and many households pushed to bankruptcy. But since earlier this year, the unseasonal heavy rains destroyed 70 per cent of the total trees. “The unseasonal rains destroyed cashew flowers, so this year the yield will definitely reduce by 50 per cent”, Nguyen Van Chien from Bu Gia Map District told Dau Tu (Investment) Review.
