MEKSEA.COM – The situation of the Covid-19 epidemic is gradually being controlled, many provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta have begun to relax social distancing, so transportation and travel activities are becoming more and more open, the labor force will be more and more comfortable. More and more people return to work, giving production and business a chance to recover sooner.

During the recent time of social distancing, both fishermen, agents and processing enterprises have faced difficulties. The main causes are labor shortage (harvesting and processing) and difficulties in transporting and circulating materials for farming. However, since the beginning of September and especially after September 15, the production and business situation of enterprises as well as the consumption of many key agricultural and aquatic products of the Mekong Delta significantly improved and restored.

For businesses, the fear of labor shortage has also lessened with the expansion of the green zone, so health assurance has also been established more closely when the number of workers returning to work is increasing day by day. According to businesses, the number of workers returning to work has basically met production requirements, so the capacity has also increased significantly, greatly contributing to the consumption of products for farmers.

The price of shrimp and a number of other agricultural and aquatic products increased not only because the social distancing bottlenecks were cleared, but also due to increased market demand and especially the pressure of delivery for Christmas. and the year-end holidays of businesses.

Upcoming period is expected to be an uncompromising price competition to ensure on the one hand the year-end delivery contract signed previously, on the other hand, to take advantage of the remaining opportunities of the year to make up for the shortfalls month of decline in capacity and sales. Current forecasts are mostly inclined to the almost certain possibility that shrimp and pangasius prices will continue to increase and last at least until the end of the first quarter of 2022. There are also a number of key agricultural and aquatic products. Others will also be better consumed when the southern provinces and cities control the Covid-19 epidemic well before October. Therefore, the prices of seafood products are gradually increasing and may rise sharply out of control. Hope you consider planning to buy now before the price skyrockets.
