The year's production cycle finally wraps up in April. The variability of supplies across the year creates a huge price differential between the high season and the spring low season. Betel nut is in short supply in April and early May, which causes prices to soar before they begin to inch back down in July.
在一年供應青黃不接的 4 月底 5 月初，價格就會大幅飆升，7 月時逐步下跌，淡旺季價差幅度極大，行情高時產地價一粒 5 ~ 6 元、低時一粒只有 2 ~ 3 角，但一年的平均價約在 2 元到 3 元之間。
