Local traders said that all major suppliers raised the price of seed corn varieties by VND6,000-VND8,000 per kilo forcing up retail prices for seeds. With this price, farmers will have to pay an additional of over VND 200,000 per hectare for their seeds.

Farmers in Dong Nai will plant nearly 25,000 ha of corn for the summer-autumn crop and most of them will grow the seeds of hybrid corn due to high quality and yield. The largest cultivation areas in the province will include the four districts of Xuan Loc, Cam My, Tan Phu and Trang Bom.
