A large number of flowers planted in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta are now ready to be sold in major cities as the Lunar New Year is less than two weeks away.

Flower villages in the region have become more bustling than ever with preparations for the biggest sale of the year.

Merchants and wholesalers from such big cities as Ho Chi Minh and Can Tho have arrived at these venues on a daily basis to select flowers for their business.  

Thanks to the favorable weather conditions, local farmers have been extremely happy with this year’s harvest.

In Sa Dec Flower Village, located in the namesake city in Dong Thap Province, a vast variety of blossoms have been packaged, preserved, and ready to be delivered to buyers in other provinces and cities.

According to the economic office of Sa Dec City, about 100 hectares of land has been used to grow flowers for the upcoming Tet holiday.

In Cai Mon Flower Village in Cho Lach District, Ben Tre Province, about 80 percent of the products here have already been sold, with prices increasing by five to 10 percent year-on-year.

This year’s Tet holiday falls on January 25, with preparation and celebration often taking place one week before and after the date.
