Price capers of the Windeln.de share The dangerous game of gamblers

Status: 10.06.2021 6:24 p.m.

Small investors let shares of the baby outfitter Windeln.de shoot up first – then they crash. This risky game is powered by social media. Newcomers in particular make a lot of mistakes. From Angela Göpfert, tagesschau.de From the so-called penny stock to the investor’s favorite: The story of Windeln.de reads so seductively simple at first glance. Within a few days, the paper soared from around 70 cents to 6.92 euros – a staggering price increase of almost 900 percent. The share of the online baby outfitter was not driven by new, positive news about the development of the company, but by a host of gamblers who drum for the company in investor forums such as Reddit and on social media.

Report of loss in April

They drummed for a company that made a net loss of 13.7 million euros in 2020 and officially announced in April that it had suffered a loss of more than half of its share capital. In other words: Windeln.de obviously needs fresh money. The notification of loss was by no means voluntary. Rather, Windeln.de thus complied with an obligation imposed by the legislator: Companies must inform if losses have exceeded a critical limit and there is an urgent need for action.

“Flagpole” as a warning signal

The course of the Windeln.de share seems all the more absurd. Experts speak of such a steep, almost vertical rise in price “Flagpole”. Many stock market beginners are attracted and seduced by such price patterns. One would have loved to have this share, since it would have enabled one to multiply one’s capital in a very short time.

The so-called “Flagpole” is clearly visible in the Windeln.de chart. Image: tagesschau.de For technical analysts, i.e. stock market experts who analyze price developments and other market data, this is the “Flagpole” but one thing above all: symbol of an exaggeration phase on the stock markets – and thus a clear warning signal. The Federal Association of Consumer Organizations (VZBV) is also critical of the current price developments at Windeln.de, Nanogate, Clover Health, Gamestop and other stocks with particularly noticeable highs: “This has nothing to do with investing, it is pure speculation”, said Christian Ahlers, speaker in the financial market team tagesschau.de .

A “Fireworks” of investor errors

At Mojmir Hlinka from the Swiss asset manager AGFIF International, the alarm bells are ringing when stocks like Gamestop or Windeln.de are mentioned: “These are pure speculative objects, without any substance.” The Swiss expert makes a whole in this context “Fireworks” on the basis of typical investor errors, especially the neglect of the likelihood that certain events can occur. Experts speak of “neglect of probability”. “The tiny probability of making a profit on such stocks is massively overestimated by investors. In contrast, the great probability of a loss is clearly undervalued”, told Hlinka tagesschau.de .

When emotions are involved

Hlinka’s perspective on the markets is a special one, as he operates asset management on the basis of the so-called “Behavioral Finance”. This economic research direction is based on the findings of the psychologists Daniel Kahnemann and Amos Tversky. Accordingly, the investor does not act rationally, but is controlled by his emotions and typical behavioral patterns. As a result, he makes mistakes that reduce his profits. Such a typical mistake has a lot to do with paying attention to certain papers. “These stocks are widely reported in the media, especially on social media”, emphasizes AGFIF expert Hlinka. “This means that more information is available to them more easily. That automatically makes them more interesting for investors.”

Social media fuel herd instinct

Another problem for the normal investor is the herd instinct: Many people like to do what the masses do. “This phenomenon can be observed in any stock market hype. People feel safer in the herd”, emphasizes Hlinka. “Investors’ herd instinct is currently controlled primarily via social media. Quasi real sects are forming in the investor forums.” Consumer advice center expert Ahlers is similarly critical and warns: “Tip givers and sellers can also be found in social networks, who may do more than exchange investor experiences and may also advertise dubious investments.”

Financial regulators advise caution

The German financial supervisory authority BaFin has now recognized this: “BaFin advises all investors to check the information provided on social media very carefully with the help of other sources”According to the agency’s website. “Chat groups in social networks are often only used to entice investors to buy certain stocks so that the senders can benefit from the rising prices of these stocks.” As new as the influence of social media on share prices may be, the mechanisms behind the current excitement about papers like Windeln.de have been well known for centuries. The first big hot topic in financial history was tulip bulbs. Numerous other bubbles followed – from railways, the South Seas, the Internet industry to US real estate, to name a few. “Each of these bubbles has burst so far”, says Hlinka. “History has proven that. At some point this hype will also burst.”

Massive price drops

Perhaps the bursting of the bubble has already begun with a look at some of the shares: Today the Windeln.de share rushes down by up to 35 percent. Clover Health stocks fell 24 percent on the Nasdaq yesterday. When exactly a bubble will burst is difficult or even impossible to predict, even for experts. But the stock exchange world has also found a technical term for this: the “Greater Fool Hypothesis”, according to which prices will continue to rise as long as there is one in the market “even bigger fools” there who pays even more.

If in previous years, Australian mango exports with large fruits usually cost 40,000 – 50,000 VND/kg, this year this mango has dropped dramatically but the purchasing power is still slow. As noted by a VOV reporter, at the Southern Wholesale Market, Hanoi, each kilogram of Australian mangoes currently costs from 10 to 15 thousand VND. The giant mango variety weighs a pound, even the fruit is up to nearly 2kg, sweet, fragrant, thick mango flesh, dark color looks very eye-catching. Ms. Hoa – a small trader specializing in selling fruit at the Southern Wholesale Market (Hanoi) shared that every year Australian mango exports should be priced. This year, due to the influence of the disease, mangoes are in season and delicious, but the price is very cheap. The buying power at the market is also not as strong as every year. Australian mango fruit is large, round, red when ripe. There are types of purple pink, when ripe, the intestines are yellow, the taste is sweet and cool. Due to competition with many other fruits in season such as plums, pineapples, melons, and watermelons, Australian mango consumption is slow. Therefore, Australian mango growers and traders are forced to reduce prices sharply to sell out quickly. In previous years, this large, beautiful and fragrant mango was very popular with foreign consumers, but due to the Covid-19 epidemic causing difficulties for export, domestic mango consumption was slow, so the price fell unprecedentedly. In addition to the red and ripe Australian mango, there are also large mango varieties with thick flesh and pink skin that look very eye-catching on the market. The price of this giant mango is also super cheap, only from 10 to 15 thousand VND/kg.

Ms. Be said that from the beginning of May until now, people in her hometown have begun to enter the days of squash harvest. “My hometown is Vu Thu, Thai Binh. The whole district cultivates this type of squash a lot. Most of them are Hai Duong solid green squash varieties with high yield. This type of squash has a lot of pulp, is fragrant, and has a beautiful fruit design. In addition to being grown in the traditional way, Vu Thu people also grow squash on top of a truss, or horizontal truss along a sturdy concrete column. This type of squash is very good this year, but due to the complicated situation of the Covid-19 epidemic, traders from other places cannot go back to their hometown to take pumpkins to sell in other provinces. As a result, the price of squash dropped dramatically. “Currently the squash is in the harvest season, but there are no traders coming to ask for it. The gardens are no longer crowded with buyers and sellers, but deserted. Last year, the average selling price of pumpkin was 10,000 VND/kg. However, this year, when people switched to planting squash with higher efficiency than rice, the price of zucchini was only 6,000 VND/kg. The price of squash has never been so cheap,” lamented Be. This small trader commented, the green squash at the beginning of the season is sweet, fragrant and guaranteed to be a clean food. To support the consumption, every two days, parents and family members will transfer to Ms. Be 1-2 kilos of squash for her to help sell in Hanoi, at the price of 6,000 VND/kg. If they can’t sell, people just cut back home and pile up to eat. The rest in the garden had to accept damage. After harvesting, the copper quality in the house, the price dropped dramatically Because her house can be transported for her family, she has such a good price. Therefore, I hope everyone will support to rescue squash for Vu Thu and Thai Binh people. “The fruit has come to harvest time, but there is no trader asking to buy it, so the squash is piled up, or people bring it to the market to sell. retail price of 2,000-5,000 VND/kg hoping to recover some of that capital, even though 1kg can’t buy a sandwich. Many families here are trying to contact, find sources of income or ask acquaintances in the city to sell online,” said Be. According to her, every 2 days she sells about 1 quintal of zucchini. “Because of the pandemic, people order online a lot. Those who buy less are 5kg, those who buy more are tens of kg to eat gradually. Compared to going to the market to buy toads, this price is too cheap.” People buy it, slice it, and dry it Can make delicious winter squash tea According to a survey of PV, at the toad markets and wholesale markets in Ha Dong and Thanh Xuan, Hanoi, the price of zucchini fluctuates at 7,000-10,000 VND/kg. In addition to zucchini, pumpkin also dropped in price to only about 5,000-6,000 VND/kg. Ms. Do Thi Thu, a housewife in Kien Hung, Ha Dong has just ordered 20kg of squash for 120,000 VND today. She revealed that she bought squash to cook bone soup to eat gradually and make stir-fried squash, stuffed squash with meat. In addition, taking advantage of when squash is cheap, she makes squash tea to lose weight and clear heat. “Making green squash tea is easy. Just use clean squash, then collect it, cut it, and dry it for use. Every year, I make squash tea to use all year round, drink it with peace of mind. It’s better than having to buy squash tea online for up to 200,000 VND/kg without knowing the origin,” noted Thu.

While Vietnamese mangoes are falling dramatically, from only 10,000 VND/kg, Chinese mangoes cost up to 30,000 VND/kg and attract many buyers. At noon on May 26, beside Cho Lon bus station (District 5, Ho Chi Minh City), many people displayed a basket of mangoes sucking on the sidewalk to greet guests. Small, flat-seeded mangoes with eye-catching yellow color, priced from only 25,000-30,000 VND/kg, are introduced by small traders as Chau Doc mangoes. “Chau Doc mango is fragrant and sweet, so it is always expensive. Each person buys 2-3 kg, even more to eat gradually. This mango only has one season a year, you should take advantage of it to enjoy,” said Ms. Binh, a fruit trader. When PV asked, is this mango sucking? The seller immediately nodded: “It’s true that Chau Doc’s suckling mango is addicted to eating!”. According to Ms. Binh, she takes an average of 50 kg per day and always sells out very quickly. As observed, this mini mango has a compact size in the palm of the hand, each fruit weighs only about 100-150 grams, the seeds are very flat, the flesh is thick and sweet. From the outside, the mini yellow mango is only slightly better than a chicken egg. However, the owner of an imported fruit shop on 3/2 Street (District 10, Ho Chi Minh City) confirmed that the mini mango sold at the market is not Chau Doc mango but originated from China. “Last month, someone offered this mango, introduced from China, but I refused to accept it. As far as I know, An Giang does not have this sucking mango variety, this mini mango “- this person said. At many roads such as Vu Tung (Binh Thanh District), Dien Bien Phu (District 3), An Duong Vuong (District 5)… Mini mangoes are also labeled by small traders as sand mango, Thanh ca mango… “Buy” Try it, sweet bag is only 20,000 VND/kg, buy 3 kg for only 50,000 VND” – the man selling the table on a trolley invites guests. My (living in Thu Duc City) said that mini mangoes of Chinese origin made her somewhat apprehensive, but because the food was quite delicious, everyone in the family liked it, so she still bought it. “This type in the room has a very fragrant smell. I have been eating for many years, so every season, I buy it and use it,” said My. According to Thu Duc Wholesale Market Management Company – the largest agricultural wholesale market in Saigon, the Chinese suckling mango has arrived at the market for a few days, earlier than usual, but the quantity is not much, so the mangoes do not go in a separate container, but together with them. some other items. The sucking mango, also known as the Chinese mini mango, has an eye-catching yellow color Compared to Vietnamese mangoes that are falling in price, leading to 10,000 VND/kg, this sucker mango, even though the goods have withered, is still over 20,000-30,000 VND/kg Mini mango has small fruit from 100-150 grams / fruit, sweet taste Mango is always expensive because many customers love it Mini sucking mangoes are labeled as sand mango or Chau Doc mango by sellers for easy selling Many people eat well, so every season, they buy and enjoy

According to locals, if last year, at this time, the price of Australian mango was always at 40,000-50,000 VND/kg, this year, the price of Australian mangoes dropped sharply to only 10,000 VND/kg. Rescued Australian mangoes are on the market. (Screenshots) On the online market, many people are calling for the rescue of Australian mangoes.

She says: “ This year, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the price of Australian mangoes dropped sharply. Unable to export, Australian mango must be consumed in the domestic market “. In Hanoi, Australian mango costs just over 10,000 VND/kg. (Screenshots) Not only in Ho Chi Minh City, Australian mangoes are also sold to the rescue on many online markets in Hanoi. A Facebook account for sale on the online marketplace: “ Export of Australian mango. Mango rescue corner. Translation can’t be exported, so I’m selling for the garden This small trader said that Australian mango exports are large (700-800g/fruit), round, beautifully designed, thick and juicy. The selling price is 99,000 VND/6kg. Calculated, each kg of red Australian mango. just over 16,000 VND. Ms. TL (Hoang Mai, Hanoi) shared: “ About a dozen days ago, I started selling Australian mangoes to rescue gardeners in Nha Trang. Because the epidemic could not be exported to China, farmers did not know where to put it. I sell in a set of 5kg (99,000 VND) “. Australian mangoes are large, round and weigh up to 1kg/fruit. (Photo: Facebook) According to Ms. TL, Australian mangoes are very regular and large. Because of the low price, many women also buy together to save money on shipping. One day, Ms. TL sold nearly 1 quintal of Australian mangoes. Just ordered 10kg of Australian mango, Lan Hoa (Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi) constantly compliments. She says: “ I ordered Australian mango yesterday on Facebook and this afternoon it was delivered to my house. Australian mangoes are large, uniform fruits, beautiful colors. When eaten sweet, ripe, mango flesh is firm “. The Australian mangoes are beautifully colored. (Photo: Facebook) Similarly, Ms. Trang (Ha Dong, Hanoi) also ordered 10kg of Australian mangoes for the whole family to eat gradually. She said: “ Every year, Australian mango has a high price of about 50,000 VND/kg. However, this year, Australian mangoes are only about 10,000 VND/kg. From now until the end of the season, I will order a few more times to support the farmers “.

According to Ms. Thu, Australian mangoes are grown a lot by households in Khanh Hoa. If last year, this time the price of Australian mango was always at 40,000-50,000 VND/kg, this year, the price of this mango dropped sharply to only 10,000 VND/kg. “Last year, affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, the price of Australian mangoes was still 20,000 VND/kg, the smaller ones were 15,000 VND/kg. But this year, the usual large size for export to China can only sell at 10,000 VND / kg, “said Ms. Thu. Australian mango fruit is large, round, red when ripe This small trader shared that the reason why the price of Australian mangoes fell so sharply was due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic. Because it cannot be exported, it must be consumed in the domestic market. Due to competition with many other mangoes, there are many delicious fruits in the right season such as plums, pineapples, melons, and watermelons, so consumption is slow. Therefore, Australian mango growers are forced to reduce prices sharply to sell quickly. “My uncle’s family grows mangoes in Cam Lam, Khanh Hoa and is very worried because Australian mangoes have never dropped in price as dramatically as they do now. In previous years, this large, beautiful and fragrant mango was very popular with consumers in China, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong… But since the epidemic, it could not be exported. The consumption of mango juice is slow in the domestic market, so the price has dropped unprecedentedly. However, mango growers still have to sell and get any money or that,” Thu said. Currently, the Covid-19 epidemic is still complicated in many localities, so even though Australian mangoes this year have both been in good season and depreciated. When sold in Hanoi market, Australian mangoes are only 10,000-11,000 VND/kg but still empty. “Australian mango is usually harvested from the end of April to June every year. The large size is good for export, the average weight is about 7-8 ounces / fruit, before selling 50,000 VND / kg, now it is only 129,000 VND / set of 10 kg and 199,000 VND / set of 20 kg. The Australian mangoes we sell are all new, so customers who buy them can let them ripen gradually,” said Thu. This small trader also tips how to choose delicious Australian mangoes. “When choosing Australian mangoes, you should choose large and round mangoes like peaches, with red streaks on the skin. This red streak only appears when the Australian mango begins to age. When they are young, the skin is still green like other common mango varieties. The older the mango is, the more red it is.” Just ordered 10kg of Australian mango, Ms. Tran Thanh Nga in Thanh Xuan, Hanoi constantly praised: “I just ordered yesterday on facebook, today it was delivered to my house. 10 Australian mangoes, each one is like 10, very even and big. A fruit must be from 8 ounces to more than 1 kilogram. Mangoes have beautiful colors, small seeds and fragrant. When eating, it is very sweet, ripe and supple, and the mango flesh is firm. My two kids love to eat. Therefore, I just let the mango ripen normally. When squeezing the mango, it feels a bit soft and has an even yellow color, so I put it in the refrigerator to eat it for half a month. According to Ms. Nga, Australian mangoes can be eaten directly or made into mango smoothies which are also very mouth-watering, both delicious and nutritious. Sharing about the unprecedented low price of Australian mangoes during the main season, Ms. Nga commented: “Previously, this type of mango that was exported to foreign countries was twice or triple the price of other mangoes. The selling price at fruit shops is usually stable at 50,000 VND/kg. But this year, I bought this mango for only 10,000 VND/kg. From now until the end of the season, I will order a few more times to support Australian mango growers.”

Elon Musk declares allegiance to Dogecoin (Image: WCCFTech) Elon Musk declared his allegiance to Dogecoin causing its value to increase by 15% during this crypto volatility. The billionaire American businessman responded to a Twitter thread speculating about his Dogecoin holdings with the message: “I have not and will not sell any Dogecoins.” This move of Elon Musk immediately caused Dogecoin to increase in value after many days of falling. Earlier, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX posted on Twitter a photo of a laptop with a $1 bill sticker on it with the caption: “How many Doge’s in the window.” If you look closely, you can see that this bill has a picture of a Shiba Inu dog, the symbol of Dogecoin, in place of President George Washington. Elon Musk’s post on Twitter (Image: Twitter) This is the second time this week that Elon Musk has publicly expressed support for cryptocurrencies, after making an announcement on Twitter that Tesla would hold onto its Bitcoins as the market shows signs of a market crash. Earlier, Elon Musk faced criticism from social media users when some suggested that he sold his Bitcoins when its price peaked in the market. Elon Musk responded by tweeting that the electric car company has a “Diamond Hand,” referring to traders who hold stocks when prices fall with the goal of making long-term profits. The drop in cryptocurrency value over the past few days is said to have started after Elon Musk posted an announcement saying that Tesla was temporarily suspending Bitcoin as payment for its car orders, due to concerns about the risk of loss of money. Bitcoin mining will have a bad effect on the environment. Since then, however, he has repeatedly said that the company will keep its Bitcoins and will allow the use of the cryptocurrency to trade again when mining becomes more stable. Elon Musk announced that he will not sell Tesla’s Bitcoin (Image: Twitter) According to the Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance, the Bitcoin industry’s annual energy consumption is on par with that of a country the size of Malaysia. And most of the mining is located in regions of China, where electricity is produced cheaply by coal-fired power plants. Tesla bought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin at the end of 2020 when the price of each Bitcoin was below $20,000 and sold 10% in early 2021 when the price of this virtual currency reached $50,000/Bitcoin, earning on a profit of 101 million USD.

Ms. Trinh Thi Mai from Yen Xa, Hanoi, two weeks ago started selling Dak Lak pink lychee. She said, this is the first fabric of the season that she imported from the Central Highlands to sell to gourmets. “Dak Lak persimmon usually ripens early and yields earlier than other lychees in the country. Usually, this type of fabric will start to ripen from April, until May is the end of the season. Years ago, many people ordered this pink fabric. Every day, I sell weights even though the price is up to 100,000 VND/kg when I go to Hanoi. But this year, the purchasing power dropped sharply even though the price of lychee fell to only 50,000 VND/kg. While at this price last year, customers can only buy loose fruit, without branches, without leaves, “Ms. Mai said. The first fabric of this year’s season is half as cheap as last year This small trader shared, because it is just the beginning of the season, the lychee is not 100% sweet but only about 70% sweet, still a little sour. However, these lychees are still very fresh and delicious. This fabric is therefore still ordered by gourmets to enjoy and housewives to buy offerings on weekdays and full moon days. “The early season lychee is very fresh and sweet, with thick pulp, thin skin, and large, uniform fruits. Because it is beautiful and has a much cheaper price than usual, many customers still order 1-2kg to burn incense. But in general, purchasing power this year is slower than last year because of the Covid-19 epidemic, consumers spend more sparingly. Every day I can only sell about 10-20 kg of lychee,” said Mai. Also a small trader is selling litchi at the beginning of the season, but Ms. Tran Thi Huyen sells hybrid fabrics. Although at the beginning of the season, Huyen sells for only 25,000 VND / kg, 100,000 VND / 4 kg. Huyen said that these are hybrid lychee branches, sweet and sour taste. They are picked at the lychee garden in her hometown, Hung Yen, so they are very fresh. Because it is the fabric of the house, she sells it at a cheaper price than at the market. “Every year, fabric is usually exported to China. But this year, the export market is very quiet, the gardeners are absent from traders who come to deposit to buy. Therefore, the lychee is ripe until it is cut.” Because it is the first type of Northern litchi at the beginning of the season, it has the same cheap price as other popular fruits, so when she sold it online, it attracted the attention of many housewives. Customers often order from 2kg or more to burn incense or taste. “Last year, my family sold lychee at wholesale markets for about 30,000 VND/kg. Selling online, I offer 40,000 VND/kg. Meanwhile, many online shops also sell 50,000-60,000 VND/kg. However, this year the pandemic ended, so I sold it at that price and received a lot of support from many sisters,” Huyen said. According to PV’s observations, on the online market at this time, many small traders sell hybrid fabrics, pink lychee, and egg yolk litchi grown in Quang Ninh and Hung Yen. Because the small traders said, this time there is no lychee. This fabric is about a month away from the main crop. This small trader commented: “Although hybrid lychees and lychees are not as delicious as Bac Giang lychees, their fruits are quite large, round, succulent, and do not have head decay. In particular, the cloth is clean without preservatives, safer than many other fruits.” Before the complicated development of the new Covid-19 epidemic, many lychee sellers also expressed concern that the purchasing power of lychee was low and could not be exported. Despite the large number of customers ordering, the number of customers decreased significantly compared to last year, and in the main season, the price of cloth will surely decrease even more. “Therefore, our family is considering a plan to promote retailing at markets, especially wholesale markets, toad markets and online markets. In addition, try to connect with supermarkets to see if they can push fabrics to sell. Besides, there will also be a plan to dry and store cold to sell gradually”, Ms. Huyen shared.

However, not all branches can be cut because they can be kept so that the tree can bear fruit in the next season. Therefore, gardeners only prune beautiful small branches, about 50-55 cm long, many fruits and leaves. The collection is therefore very strenuous and time consuming. Sometimes a week, goods can return 2-3 flights but not often. “I sell in a set of 7-8 stems / set for 250,000 VND / set to fill a large pot. Yesterday, I returned more than 200 sets of red ripe plum sets delivered to pre-booked customers. Many people urged to order, I have to wait until the plum season is coming, ”she said. Ms. Tran Thi Hoai – a flower sales agent in Minh Khai (Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi) – also said that at this time, the plum is at the end of the season, the fruit is ripe much red so cutting branches and transporting are very difficult. towels and not much because the fruit easily falls off.

Plum rice prices fell, she retailed only 10,000-15,000 VND / kg, even down to 7,000 VND / kg in some times, it was still dull, sparsely bought, and red ripe fruit had to be thrown away. Meanwhile, the plum branches she sells with prices ranging from 250,000 to 500,000 VND / set (5-10 branches) depending on the size of the branches are big or small. Most customers buy 1-2 sets of living room decoration plugs. However, the goods are almost not available, when customers order, she will collect them to return the customer to freshen. “Whole rice plum branches can be played for 5-6 days, but now it’s the end of the season. The plum season starts early, I cut off and sell the branches that are still nursing and ripe so that they can be played for longer ”, said Ms. Hoai.

However, to buy 2 sets of plum branches, she has to ask for a few clues that must be booked 3-4 days in advance. “Although the plum branch is much more expensive than buying the fruit by weight, I still buy it because it is decorated and eaten at the same time. Like the time to leave the plum blossom, red ripe fruit in the living room, sometimes picking a fruit feels like being in the plum garden in Son La, ”Ms. Phuong said happily.

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.

Tam said that the first time she learned about this onion was in 2017. At that time, when her child had a cough that could not go away, she was given a few slices of onion to go home to pound it and then steam it with alum sugar. I drink. Doing a few times is effective, my child does not cough. After that, she learned more about the use of onions such as “miracle” to cure many of these diseases, in addition to being used to cook dishes like normal onions. From then until now, every year during the popular season, she takes advantage of buying and storing for use gradually. For instant meals, she put them outside or in the refrigerator cooler, and the next part is put in the freezer compartment. According to her experience, to freeze the taste will be reduced, but when someone has a cold, whooping cough, … taking it out is also convenient. Onion – a specialty of Nghe origin on this occasion is selling for quite a cheap price in Hanoi However, every time she has to buy onions at quite expensive prices, some years up to 150,000 VND / kg, some years nearly 200,000 VND. This year, the price is super cheap, so Ms Tam enlisted to buy more than in previous years, she said. On the women’s forums, people are also whispering to buy these specialties from Nghe to accumulate and use gradually, to take advantage of when they are cheap. Recognized in the market, Nghe An onion has many different prices, ranging from 30,000-50,000 VND / kg depending on the type, even the selection is 100,000 VND / kg. However, according to the traders of this item in Hanoi, compared with last year, the price decreased by only half. Ms. Dinh Thu Hang, the head of selling Nghe An onions in Hai Ba Trung (Hanoi), acknowledged that not only was cheap, but on this occasion, onions also poured into Hanoi and attracted more customers. “I’ve been selling this kind of onions for a few years now. Every season, you will import goods to sell. Years ago, the price was expensive so people ordered only 2-3 kg / time, very few people bought up to 5kg. This batch is cheap, the number of customers buying is also more “, she said. According to Ms. Hang, the season of toothpickness does not last long, but in return the housewives love it, especially mothers, because this kind of onion has many good health benefits. Therefore, every day she sells about 60-80kg of onion. There are days when she sells more than 1 quintal. Mr. Phung Ngoc Huy – a dealer selling Central specialties in Hoang Van Thai (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi) – also revealed: “Starting in season, the price of onions is high, people buy less. Each day then only sold about 20-30kg. Now, onions are cheap, onions are at the end of the season, people have high demand for storage, so sales volume increases 4-5 times ”. In Nghe An, onions fell dramatically, there were still no buyers According to Huy, this year, Nghe An is cheap in part due to the good season and the output of pumpkins, so the selling price in the field is very cheap, leading to a sharp drop in the price in Hanoi on this occasion. In fact, until mid-March – the main time of the harvest, at a toothpick shop in Nghi Loc (Nghe An) – people have to face with a catastrophic, sluggish onion price drop. “Seeing that the scallions are continuously in good season, last season, my family planted 1 sao of onion, a total of 5 sao. Sometimes, the price of onion peaks at 50,000-60,000 VND / kg, this year from the beginning of the season only 20,000 VND / kg, now it drops to 13,000 VND / kg, no one buys ”, Mr. Nguyen Sy Cuong – a household planting scallions in Nghi Lam commune (Nghi Loc) shared on Cong Thuong newspaper. After nearly ten years of growing onions, he found that in the first year, the prices of onions fell so badly. “A few years ago, people bought a lot, but this year, traders in the province and in the South refused because onions in them are also down in price and difficult to consume. If onions are left unsold for a long time, it will easily perish,” said Tran Thi Thu, an onion-growing householder in Nghi Lam commune, lamented. The traders explained that, in the main season, the season for sale, termites in the provinces stopped buying, so they did not dare to “eat goods”, leading to a plunge in prices. Information from Nghi Lam commune shows that the whole commune has about 1,500 households growing onions, with an area of ​​nearly 103ha. One sao of onions can reach 5-6 quintals. If the price is stable from 30,000 to 35,000 VND / kg, growing onions will bring 3-4 times higher income than growing rice and maize. However, this year it has “good season, devaluation”. Accordingly, the price of onion drops is only 13,000 VND / kg. At this price, people will inevitably suffer losses. Not to mention, although the price of onions is low, there are no traders to buy, the amount of backlog is hundreds of tons.
