Vietnam agricultural products sold on Amazon for high prices
VTV.vn - Many Vietnamese agricultural products such as chilli, coriander or tapioca powder are sold on Amazon at the prices of tens or hundreds times higher than domestic prices.

For example, cassava flour in Vietnam is only 4.4 USD per kg. However, on Amazon, this item was sold for nearly 44 USD a kilo. Vietnamese pepper is offered for sale at Amazon for more than 29USD per kilo.

Notably, on the Amazon online store, lucuma powder is sold at about 66 USD, described as a food that contains lots of antioxidants, fibre, vitamins, trace elements, and even capable of helping to reduce fat. This fruit is abundant and sold at a low price in the domestic market.
