Ms. Nguyen Thi Tram ( live hamlet of Phuoc Long ) confided : "Usually about 2 months as my family leaves and tops of harvested cassava sold to traders , traders sold back to the company , said to be exported abroad " . In many households cassava , tobacco prices fell this year , only 1,200 VND / kg , while it is year 1500 VND / kg .

We also recommend that people should not grow any more and if people want to convert from cassava crops to the other fruit trees , the agricultural sector will lead society " - Loan said . However , most people do not want to chop down this tree because cassava pest , seed availability , consuming only water and fertilizer should not cost much for a high income .
