Farmers in some communes of Gia Loc district such as Hoang Dieu, Gia Luong... started harvesting winter vegetables early, mainly cabbage. Compared to last year, the harvest time was 15-20 days later, mainly due to the impact of storm No. 3 which killed vegetables, forcing farmers to replant.

The selling price at the field fluctuates from 10 to 12 million VND/sao of cabbage, depending on the type. Compared to last year, this selling price is 2 to 3 million VND/sao higher. With such a selling price, after deducting expenses, farmers still make a profit of 6 to 7 million VND/sao, about 2 million VND/sao higher than last year.

This year, due to the influence of the weather, the vegetable fields have different quality, leading to different yields, ranging from 0.8 - 1.2 tons/sao, lower than last year from 0.1 - 0.3 tons/sao.
