However, according to many people who bought it, litchi fruit is thin, acrid, not as sweet as advertised. At a clean fruit shop on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street (District 1), lychees are offered for sale with prices ranging from 65,000-75,000 VND/kg. “This is “airplane” fabric, ie shipped by air. Fresh lychees from Bac Giang province are harvested in the same day, then transported by plane to Saigon right away, so the fruit is not only fresh and delicious, but also has a strong taste like being enjoyed in the garden. Although the price is high, most of them are booked by customers in advance,” said the store staff. Fabric price is only 15,000-20,000 VND/kg Lychee is in nine seasons, so it’s busy pouring into Saigon market Meanwhile, supermarkets in Ho Chi Minh City also sell this item at very affordable prices. As at Saigon Co.op system, lychee prices fluctuate around 21,900-40,500 VND/kg depending on the region; In Aeon, litchi costs 25,000 VND/kg. Hypermarket Go! Big C offers consumers only 25,900 VND/kg… Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Van, Communications Director of Central Retail Group in Vietnam said: “Litchi are purchased directly from farmers with the highest quality according to the market at the time of purchase, thereby contributing to the orientation of the market. prices for the season. The harvesting and transportation procedures ensure safety against epidemics according to the instructions of the ministries of health and transport. In the supermarket, lychee fruit has a very soft price for customers to choose to buy In addition to coming directly, customers can buy lychee fruit at the supermarket through the online system According to a representative of the Thu Duc agricultural wholesale market, early ripening lychees in the northern provinces returned to the market from May 22 and have consumed 7,000 tons. “The main season lychee has just arrived at the market for more than a week. The average amount of lychee is 700 tons/day, the price ranges from 23,000-32,000 VND/kg. Particularly, lychee by air costs 40,000-45,000 VND/kg, but not much,” said a representative of Thu Duc farmers market. Information from the Ministry of Industry and Trade said that the lychee area in Hai Duong and Bac Giang has a total area of ​​37,100 hectares with a total expected output of 235,000 tons this year.

Processing pork products at Vinh Anh Food Technology Joint Stock Company, Thuong Tin district (Hanoi). According to Anova Feed Joint Stock Company, on May 24, in the North, the price of live pigs in the whole region ranged from 64,000 to 71,000 VND/kg. In the central region, also recorded from 67,000 to 72,000 VND/kg. In the South, the transaction remained in the range of 67,000 – 69,000 VND/kg. A pig farm owner in Thanh Ba – Phu Tho said that the price of live pigs in the area tends to decrease, currently at about 69,000 VND/kg for grade 1 pigs. If pigs are raised by the people themselves, the price is only from 64,000 to 64,000 VND. 66,000 VND/kg and commented that hog prices may continue to go down due to the slow consumption situation due to the COVID-19 epidemic. While the price of live hog tends to decrease sharply, the price of meat on the market in Hanoi is still quite high. According to the owner of a pork shop in the market in Yen Hoa ward, Cau Giay, Hanoi, the price of delicious pork is currently ranging from 130,000 to 150,000 VND/kg. Specifically, the price of delicious ribs is 150,000 VND / kg, lean shoulder meat is from 140,000 -150,000 VND / kg, pork butt is 130,000 VND / kg, pork leg meat is 140,000 VND / kg… last month. At the supermarket, the price of pork has decreased but is still at a high level of 116,000 – 155,000 VND/kg, even young ribs are still at 200,000 VND/kg.

VOV information, from the Lunar New Year up to now, the price of live pigs has continuously decreased. The live hog price is currently at its lowest level in a year, while the downward trend continues. Currently, the price of live pigs in the North ranges from 67,000-70,000 VND / kg. In the Central, Central Highlands and the South, the live pig price is 70,000-72,000 VND / kg. Experts assessed that the price of pork decreased because the domestic supply was initially assured, the re-herding in localities took place smoothly, the source of imported frozen pork was still large, directly competing with the source. domestic livestock “hot” pork. However, the market is still volatile with the risk of African swine fever and rising animal feed prices due to rising world raw material prices. Young cicadas cost half a million still expensive Cicadas in early summer are expensive (Photo: Dan Tri) Young cicada is a popular dish, familiar in many villages, but recently, they have become a specialty in the city. According to Dan Tri Newspaper, the source of cicada consumption is mainly restaurants, pubs and specialty shops specializing in forest products. Prices of ticks are increasingly being pushed up due to insufficient supply and demand. In the early summer, cicada nymphs, also known as young cicadas, were actively sold on the internet market for 400,000-500,000 VND / kg. Animal feed prices have risen sharply Recently, the price of a series of animal feed has increased sharply, causing many difficulties for both businesses and breeders of pigs, chickens, ducks, fish, shrimp … According to the Law of Ho Chi Minh City, in animal husbandry, the cost of feed accounts for 60-70% of the production cost, so when the price of food increases, the production cost will increase. The decrease in supply is due to the fact that many breeders do not dare to re-herd, plus the increase in production costs will push the selling price of finished products (pork, chicken, duck, …) up. Airfares have plummeted, increasing fees for passengers After the ceremony of 30/4, the air ticket price dropped sharply, many stages were less than half a million dong / ticket. The reason is that the demand for travel has decreased, plus the outbreak of Covid-19 disease in some localities has also made many people travel restricted. This causes airlines to adjust fares on routes to stimulate demand for travel. The airlines simultaneously increased fees with passengers flying. (Photo: Dan Tri) Meanwhile, Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, Vasco and Bamboo Airways will increase the system administration fee by 100,000 VND / flight. And passengers will have to bear this fee. According to the airlines, the increase of system administration fee is to adjust to the current market, helping the airline improve service quality, especially the ticketing system is better operated. Selling sports equipment, mounting baffles, shipper “cashing in” season Translating Covid-19 causes limited outdoor and collective sports activities. But this situation is an opportunity for people in the sports equipment business to develop online sales. The service of installing partitions and bathing was also active when the epidemic broke out again. Many stores do business, manufacture partitions, “single blast” showerheads in recent days. Companies that provide home disinfection spray services record orders increase by dozens of times compared to normal days. The outbreak of Covid-19 made business people afraid to go to crowded restaurants. This caused shipper’s orders to skyrocket these days. Mask dealers massively discharge inventory After a long period of silence, the groups of buying and selling masks have had the opportunity to become active again in the last few days with the appearance of Covid-19 positive cases in the community in some localities. Mask-men who hugged their products since last year have not been able to discharge the new service to take advantage of opening warehouses to discharge inventory and also not forgetting to raise prices. In the group specializing in wholesale masks on social networks, a medical mask agent offered a price of 1.2 million VND / carton (50 boxes of 50 pieces per carton). This price is about 300,000-400,000 VND / barrel higher than when the Covid-19 translation was temporarily quiet. The price per box of wholesale masks is about 24,000 VND / box. Plum rice is as cheap as giving it to still ineffective, plums with whole branches are expensive to sell out Every year, the price of rice plums in the garden is from 8,000-20,000 VND / kg, this year, the price of plums has decreased sharply to only 1,000-2,000 VND / kg. Although the price is as cheap as for this type of plum, this plum is still in the garden. There is a set of plum rice branches sold for 500,000 VND and still sold out. (Photo by Nhat Thanh) Meanwhile, plums with whole branches in set are extremely popular. Plum branches with ripe fruit and green leaves are being sold for quite a high price, from 250,000 to 500,000 VND / set depending on large and small branches. Massively liquidate cheap hotel and villa vouchers Although they had planned and closed the purchase of travel and resort combos, many people had to suspend the trips because of the epidemic fear. Currently on forums and groups, more and more information appears for sale, liquidation and discount of resort vouchers at luxury hotels and villas with surprisingly cheap prices. Some even accept to liquidate a loss of tens of million dong compared to when buying. With a lotus flower sauce of thousands of petals, Ha Thanh sisters were looking for them In 2019, the world of lotus lovers stirred when social networks appeared with the image of a lotus planted in a giant flower pot. In particular, this flower not only has a few petals or 100 petals like a traditional lotus, but has up to 1,000 petals. A lotus seed of a thousand petals costs 400,000-500,000 VND, and a lotus pot costs up to a million VND. This flower is causing fever (photo: Truong Dieu Anh) Nowadays, instead of selling plants or tubers, many people sell flower-cut lotus flowers like traditional lotus varieties. The price of a thousand-petaled lotus is quite expensive, up to 150,000-200,000 VND / 5 flowers, 5-7 times more expensive than ordinary lotus depending on type. Although it is quite expensive, but the thousand-petaled lotus is still actively bought by women. The western sorghum spilled into Hanoi The millet fruit only appears in the West once a year. At the end of April of the calendar year, the cassava fruit starts to ripen, and is sold by many small traders on the internet market at a fairly affordable price. This year, saffron appeared more in Hanoi. In previous years, the price of saffron at the beginning of the season was sold at a more expensive price, about 55,000 VND / kg. But this year, due to the influence of the Covid-19 epidemic, the price decreased to 40,000 VND / kg at the beginning of the season. The more in the main season, the price of saffron decreases even more, only about 20,000-25,000 VND / kg. Hanh Nguyen (Synthetic)

According to the gardeners, although the price is as cheap as vegetables, plum rice is still unprecedented. Traders come to buy a little, ripe red plums on the tree, people do not bother to harvest. Mr. Nguyen Van Trong – a rice plum growing household in Chieng Co commune (Son La) – shared, his family has been growing plums for decades, but never fell in such a tragic situation. With the amount of up to 2,000 rice plums, his family is estimated to have around 25 tons of plums every year. The rice plum in Son La is in a flourishing harvest, but the price has dropped sharply. Photo: Nhat Thanh In previous years, since the beginning of the March crop, the traders’ car ran loudly to the buying garden. At one point, the price of plum rice at the beginning of the season was up to 70,000-80,000 VND / kg, but the quantity was not much. This year, the atmosphere is quiet, plum rice is cheap, partly due to the good season, and the output pumpkins, so the selling price at the garden is record low. Mr. Trong said that last year, he sold beautiful big fruits for 18,000 VND / kg. This year, the price of plum drops to 10,000 VND / kg, the cheapest bucket is only 1,500-2,000 VND / kg. Currently, he wholesales each bag from 50-52kg, the average price is 5,000 VND / kg. Although the price is so cheap, Mr. Trong reflects that the number of plums sold this year has decreased significantly. As every year, on average, he dumped to the provinces about 5 tons / day, now he only sells about 3 tons / day. In addition to the amount of fruits collected from his home garden, he also collects from local people. Gardeners said that this type of plums eat green better than ripe. Photo: Nhat Thanh In the year when traders were slow to purchase, plums in the garden began to ripen red. Photo: Nhat Thanh In the same situation, Ms. Nguyen Quynh – another rice plum growing household in Son La – lamented, with the price as low as giving, has not been able to buy a cup of iced tea in a year. Last year, the cheapest goods she also sold was 8,000-9,000 VND / kg, beautiful goods cost 15,000-20,000 VND / kg. Now, the plum is small, mixed green, she sells for 120,000 VND / bag (50-52kg), only about 2,300 VND / kg; selected products with large fruit prices are only 3,500-6,000 VND / kg. Even plums fell at 1,000 VND / kg, there was no buyer. “The selling price is a few thousand dong, which is enough to compensate for the rent of the pickers, the money for canning, packing is all, not to mention the fertilizer fee, the effort is considered to give away. Now if you can’t sell it, you will lose a lot, ”she said, boredly. Ms. Quynh said, the plum rice season starts from March and lasts until May is over, then comes the plum season. However, this year, due to the fact that the goods cannot be sold for sale, there is no clue to buy, the sales volume is quite slow, many trees in her garden have become red and red. Plum prices are currently down to a few thousand VND / kg still meager. Photo: Nhat Thanh “This plum type, when the fruit is still green, can be sold when it is crispy and sour, only to be thrown away if it is ripe,” she said. On average, each tree gives about 30kg of fruit / crop. Her family’s crop this year is about 12 tons, but the amount of ripe fruit removed is 4-5 tons, the rest has not been sold much. Ms. Tran Hai Yen – the focal point selling plum rice in Trieu Khuc (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi), also commented that she has been selling Son La plums for 3-4 years now, seeing this is also a rare year for plum prices to drop so low. . Currently, retail plums are 20,000-25,000 VND / kg, wholesale from 5kg is priced at 15,000 VND / kg. In previous years, the price of plums ranged from 30,000 to 60,000 VND / kg, sometimes up to 90,000 VND / kg. Cheap, one day she can sell 50-60kg because customers buy more food. On the internet market, many clues are selling this plum with a retail price of only 10,000-13,000 VND / kg, even some places sell 5kg combo for 35,000 VND, not retail, attracting a lot of women. buy.

Purple iPhone 12 will launch in May According to Neowin, the purple iPhone 12 costs $ 799 for the 64GB configuration, $ 849 for the 128GB configuration, and $ 949 for the 256GB configuration. Meanwhile, the iPhone 12 mini version costs $ 699 for the 64GB configuration, $ 749 for the 128GB configuration and $ 849 for the 256GB configuration. In the Vietnamese market, it is expected that the 64GB iPhone 12 mini will cost 16 million VND, the 128GB version will cost 18 million VND. Meanwhile, the purple iPhone 12, the 64GB version costs about 20 million dong, the 128 GB version costs about 21.5 million dong. According to sources revealed in the portable goods market, about May 2 – two days after Apple sells the purple iPhone 12 in the US, Singapore and Hong Kong, the product will be available in Vietnam. However, Apple portable stores say that demand for the new model is not too high due to the addition of color only. iPhone 12 and 12 mini are less popular models in Vietnam and have to constantly reduce prices. Purple is not a completely new color on Apple products. Previously, this color appeared on iPhone 11. With the addition of purple, users in Vietnam will have six color options when buying the iPhone 12 and 12 mini, including: purple, mint green, blue, red, black, white. As with previous iPhone 12 colors, the new color option ships without the EarPods charger or earphones as Apple’s target for the environment. Inside the box is only a USB C to Lightning cable and it supports fast charging.

Gold prices are under great pressure due to strong economic data, especially reports of very strong US home sales, the highest in more than 14 years. In addition, the dollar rose 0.2% against a basket of other major currencies, making gold more expensive for buyers holding other currencies. Gold price decreased in the context of strong USD increase, profit-taking pressure … (Artwork) Meanwhile, the US 10-year government bond yields rose to the intraday high of 1.587%, though still only fluctuated in a narrow band. Gold prices have fallen 6% this year so far, mainly due to pressure from the rise in US government bond yields. Gold turned down slightly because the US labor market gave out new positive signals. The number of people applying for unemployment benefits for the first time in the week ending on April 17 was lower than forecast and the lowest in over a year. The most important event to watch next week will be the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting. Marc Chandler, CEO of Bannockburn Global Forex, said that a moderate FED could push gold prices above $ 1,800 / ounce. In the domestic market, the price of gold bars yesterday (April 23) was listed by Doji Jewelry Group for the Hanoi area: 55.45 million VND / tael (bought in) and 55.85 million / volume (sold). Saigon Jewelry Company listed SJC gold price applicable to the Hanoi area at 55.48 million dong / tael (bought in) and 55.85 million dong / tael (sold out). In Saigon, the domestic gold price was listed by Doji Jewelry Group at: 55.45 million VND / tael (bought in) and 55.85 million VND / tael (sold out). Saigon Jewelry Company listed SJC gold price at 55.48 million dong / tael (bought in) and 55.86 million dong / tael (sold out).

In some localities, the price of live pigs has reached 78,000 VND / kg In the Central region, the Central Highlands, the live hog price today decreased in some localities and fluctuated between 70,000 and 74,000 VND / kg. Accordingly, the two provinces of Quang Tri and Binh Dinh both reduced VND 2,000 / kg, currently trading at 71,000 VND / kg. Similarly, after losing VND 2,000 / kg, Thua Thien Hue province recorded the lowest level in the region of VND 70,000 / kg. This is also the lowest price in the country. In the South, the live hog price today increased – decreased in contrast in some provinces and fluctuated in the range of 72,000 – 74,000 VND / kg. Specifically, Kien Giang province increased by 1,000 VND / kg, currently purchasing at 74,000 VND / kg. In the opposite direction, after losing 1,000-2,000 VND / kg, the two provinces of Bac Lieu and Tra Vinh respectively traded at 73,000 VND / kg and 74,000 VND / kg. The rest of the provinces and cities in the region did not see any change in prices compared to yesterday.

Research on rain forecast with a forecast term of 10 – 90 days is a topic that Dr. Bui Minh Tuan (born in 1988) cherished during his master’s years at the University of Natural Sciences. “Rain is an extremely important factor for the development of most countries in the world, including Vietnam. If the rainfall is too heavy, it can lead to flooding, causing serious damage to people and material; But too little rainfall can cause droughts, lack of water for domestic use and destroy crops. Therefore, rain forecasting is always the top concern of meteorologists in the world, ”said Tuan. Although the meteorological industry in recent years has seen a strong development; weather forecasts for 5 days have the same accuracy as the one-day forecast of 30 years ago; … however, according to Mr. Tuan, this does not mean that in the next 30 years, the forecast will be 5 times more accurate than current. “There are big obstacles that the meteorological industry has not been able to overcome. Technically, the computer can help to make forecast bulletins that come monthly or longer, however, the reliability of the forecast report will drop very quickly after 5-7 days ”, said Tuan. . Currently, the theoretical foundations for short-term forecasting (from 1-5 days) have been gradually being finalized. Therefore, the weather forecast for this time period is relatively good. However, atmospheric changes on a longer time scale (from 10 to 90 days) are not fully understood. This is also one of the main reasons why the forecast is not reliable at this time. Those concerns have prompted Mr. Tuan to find laws related to the change of rain from 10 to 90 days, towards expanding the ability to forecast. Continuously from 2013 – 2019, Mr. Tuan went to “decode” the questions: Rain in Vietnam has cyclical fluctuations, especially the 10 – 90 day cycle or not? Are these variations between climatic regions? If rain in Vietnam has a strong fluctuation in a cycle of 10 – 90 days, which large-scale processes lead to the fluctuation of these cycles?, … To answer those questions, Tuan said it took him a year to read and understand the algorithms and build computational programs for large atmospheric data sets over the course of 30 years, in the period since 1980. – 2010. “These are complex algorithms, requiring high programming skills. But due to the lack of support from IT specialists, I encountered many difficulties in handling this problem ”. After the computational results have been obtained, analyzing the physical process based on those results is also a challenge. The reason is that Vietnam’s climate is very complicated, affected by many large circulation systems and has strong differentiation between regions. The characteristics of rain and the mechanism of precipitation in Vietnam still cause a lot of controversy in the meteorological community. Therefore, the selection of important aspects for analysis also requires a lot of time. Mr. Tuan also took another year to analyze all the results. What he collected during this time helped find the oscillation pattern of rain. The physical mechanisms involved in this volatility have also been shown. In particular, he also found a relationship of this oscillation with the occurrence of heavy rains in Vietnam. This brings a lot of value, because heavy rains are considered anomalous and difficult to predict. Tuan’s research is an important theoretical basis to expand the ability to predict rain and heavy rain from 10-25 days. Thanks to these results, by early 2019, his article was published in the Journal of Climate – a climate magazine of the American Meteorological Association. Mr. Tuan is a former student of Physics at the High School of Science and Technology. Because he is always curious about natural phenomena such as storms, tornadoes, thunderstorms, … he decided to enroll in the Department of Meteorology, Hydrology and Oceanography of the University of Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University. Cabinet. “When I entered school, I found Meteorology more interesting than what I thought. The ideal knowledge of mathematics and physics is quite distant, but it is applied very closely to explain natural phenomena. In addition, I also have access to modern technologies or to process data on mainframe systems. I also had the opportunity to do internships at local observatories and to participate in professional forecasting internships at the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting. There, I played the role of forecasters, directly analyzing to create a forecast newsletter. It was a very wonderful experience for me ”. After graduating from university, he continued to study for masters and doctoral degrees at the University of Science. As a scientist trained in the country, Mr. Tuan assessed that in recent years, the meteorological industry in Vietnam has also had a great development. At the working place Tuan has been equipped with a supercomputer system for training and research. The latest achievements in areas such as remote sensing, data assimilation, high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, … have also been applied in weather forecasting. However, Mr. Tuan also frankly acknowledged, the support of information technology experts to maintain and operate this system well is still limited. Current researchers still have to be in charge of this additional area. Another “separate sadness”, according to Tuan, is loneliness in science. “The computer system started to exist, but for improvement, the human factor remains the prerequisite. In Vietnam today, the number of people who choose to follow the research path in this field is very small ”. The meteorology industry still seems to be “out of the general trajectory of development”, when after nearly 10 years, despite some changes, it is still slow and only motivated by a few individual individuals. There are not many people doing research in the same field, so it is very difficult to find an academic exchange. Part of the reason, according to Tuan, is that the support for young researchers is still relatively low compared to the general level of society. This is likely to lead to a crisis of high-quality human resources in the future. Currently, each training course in the Department of Meteorology of the University of Natural Sciences recruits only about 30-40 targets. While majors require people who are good at both Math, Physics or Programming, … these people often choose very few meteorology. “Right from the source of admission, this discipline has encountered difficulties. When we enroll in schools, students still know very little about the industry and only think this industry is mainly metrology, usually for the population of C because it relates to Geography. The main registration is for aspiration 2, aspiration 3, so they don’t really like and want to stick with the industry ”, said Tuan. According to the young doctor, this industry is still not respected because people still think, “rain and wind is the story of heaven”, seemingly very far away. But in fact, it greatly affects life, economy and society such as planning production activities, forecasting diseases and preventing natural disasters. “I hope in the coming time, the society will know about the Hydrometeorology industry, not only through the image of a young man in” Quiet Sa Pa “anymore. This is an interesting discipline and offers many opportunities for young people to be truly passionate about natural sciences ”.
