Recently, farmers in the Central Highlands provinces are conducting harvesting cassava. Compared to the previous year, this year the higher price of dry cassava prices -3.900d size 3,800 / kg, farmers excited profitable.

But that's associated concerns about the implications as farmers expand cassava area massively in the next liver. If the previous crop, the market price of dried cassava only 3.300-3.400d / kg, the price of cassava crop year this rose to 3,800 - 3.900d / kg. With this price, minus the cost of planting, growing and harvesting hire the people and interest of about 15 -17 million / ha.
Tran Thanh The, communes Ven, Buon Don district (Dak Lak) said: "My family rented 2 ha of cassava planted land, this year dry cassava prices rise 3.900d / kg, compared with the previous year per kg of dry cassava increase was 6 thousand dollars.

With this 2 ha of cassava, after deducting costs such as rent, seedlings, fertilization ... I write about 30 million, while last year only 19 million. Cassava prices, farmers are also seen temporarily, what worries me is that unstable prices rise or fall. "

Just like you So, Ms. Le Thi Duyen, Ea Le, Ea Sup district, said: "If last year, the price of dry cassava not only low (3.300d / kg) which was criticized by traders waist he built not bought , the cassava prices peaked this year, is quite easy to sell.

My house has 1.5 hectares of cassava, the first harvest was 3 tons of fresh cassava, then traders to farmgate prices 1.600d / kg fresh cassava, but I'm not sold, to obtain higher prices brought me Status dried sold 3.900d / kg. Unless all costs to make this year earned about $ 23 -24 million. "

Compared to the previous year, the price of cassava is much higher than last year. The rising price of cassava farmers is not only exciting but even these traders buy hunting scung crowded than usual.

Anh Phuong traders buy dried cassava in Ea Wen, Buon Don district, said: "This year the cassava price increases, further markets stronger than last year, so the sale of cassava also easier . It is true that "the cinnamon expensive, dull the wood," many people do not do this long profession purchasing cassava, this year also saw the word practice as too ".

Known, as planned, Dak Lak keep 15,000 cassava area is appropriate, meet raw material for starch processing plants in the province. Therefore, with the price of cassava increased again today, the risk of breaking the planning area of cassava is probable.

By the massive cassava will undoubtedly arise many implications such as not mastered market prices led to a situation, "admitted the seller, lack of buyer"; then the massive cassava will lead to land degradation, soil erosion sardines ... Most importantly unwind cassava will disrupt planning other crops.

In addition, the increase in area planted cassava also caused some natural forests are lost, direct threat to the ecological environment. If you later want to quit cassava farmers to go back to other crops would be very difficult. So agriculture is suggested farmers should only cassava with planned area.
