Ensuring Flower Supply For Tet Market
According to farmers, the amount of flowers consumed each Tet holiday is often many times higher than normal, and the selling price also increases by 1.5-2 times depending on the type of flower. Therefore, farmers and gardeners had to prepare 3-6 months in advance to meet the demand for Tet flower markets.

Hai Phong City has nearly 650 hectares of flower growing area concentrated mainly in Hai An and Duong Kinh districts. The flowers grown and sold during Tet are mainly orchids, lilies, gladiolus, chrysanthemums, sunflowers, violets, etc. This year, the weather was not favorable for growing flowers as it was warm and became extremely cold when the harvesting time approached. Therefore, gardeners with little experience and care techniques in harsh weather conditions and unusual changes had their flowers damaged.
There is only nearly a week left until the Lunar New Year, so traders are going to gardeners and farms to buy flowers in large quantities to resell to consumers. To meet rising market demand, flower growers harvest in periods and preserve flowers in cold storage, ensuring they retain their freshness.
This year, due to the influence of weather, flower productivity, and output have decreased compared to last year, so the prices of flowers have increased. However, with the flowers that farmers and gardeners have prepared, along with a large number of imported flowers from growing areas in neighboring localities, the Tet flower market remains diverse in terms of quantity and quality to fulfill the needs of the city’s residents./.
