The first cutting of basil in 2023 will begin in some areas next week. This year, as shared from the beginning of the crop, the lack of rain leads to uneven growth of the trees.
The weather in recent years has been erratic and extreme. In stark contrast to the season of the crop in 2022, due to excessive rainfall, the hydroelectric reservoirs on the Red River flooded, causing many areas of the riverside alluvial land to be flooded. But this year, lack of rainfall, basil is slow growth and early aging.
From June 10, farmers start the first cutting. According to statistics obtained from Techvina, the first cut oil production is forecasted to be 20% less than in 2022 due to the fewer harvested leaves and branches.
With limited production, basil oil prices are expected to not change much and remain high.
