On New Year’s Eve, many people still flock to Te Te, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City to buy flowers to help growers.
Mr. Hoang bought a 400,000 VND apricot pot at the price offered by the seller, his wife said, “Why not pay the price because they are the seller, I am the buyer?” Mr. Hoang said, “Now what is the price, buy for the people who still go home to celebrate Tet.” The wife agrees, withdraws the money to pay.
Every year on the afternoon of Tet 30, there are absolutely no flower pots on the Kinh Te line, but this year, with many provincial flower markets limiting their activities, flowers from many places flock to Ho Chi Minh City for consumption. There are still plenty of boats full of flowers, although New Year’s Eve is only a few hours away. Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee has issued an official letter asking people to buy flowers to support farmers, this is also one of the reasons why shoppers keep going to the flower market despite the fact that New Year’s Eve is coming.
Ms Mong Thu, a florist in Ben Tre, said: “A few days ago, the flowers were selling very poorly. Only since yesterday and today we can sell. Now, buyers, we are very grateful.” Thu could not hide his emotions and tears.
Mr. Vu, owner of a Ben Tre flower pot also said: “Every year, we prepare to welcome New Year’s Eve. But this year we are still selling flowers in Ho Chi Minh City. At midnight, we will take the boat home. Fortunately, on New Years Eve, the people of the city still buy us flowers. Some people come to buy them several times, they don’t pay the price, they buy anyway.
According to Ms Mong Thu, the price of the flowers she sold was only 40% last year, each pot last year sold 1.2 million, this year the pot only sold 400,000 VND, breakeven and also to thank the city people for helping the family during a difficult pandemic.
Young people come to buy flowers to help them grow flowers, they buy without haggling.
