At the beginning of the season, the price of squash has dropped dramatically, only 6,000 VND/kg still can’t be sold, so many people only know how to pile it up, thanks to acquaintances in the city to sell it gradually.
For 3 weeks now, Ms. Tran Thi Be in Hoang Mai, Hanoi has continuously advertised on her personal facebook and online market groups batches of squash in Thai Binh, her hometown, at a startlingly low price, only 6,000 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.”

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.
