Tet flower prices fluctuate, Tay Tuu farmers are worried
VietNamNet•23/01/2025
As Tet is approaching, flower growers in Tay Tuu (Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi ) are worried because the flower consumption market this year is worse than previous years. Meanwhile, the prices of many types of flowers have dropped sharply compared to this time last year.
After Typhoon Yagi , the gardens of flower growers in Tay Tuu village were “submerged in water” and all their crops were lost. Farmers started to grow flowers again, but the area and yield were not as large as in previous years.
Chrysanthemums are grown the most in Tay Tuu. This type of flower is sold for 2,000 VND/flower, half the price compared to last year. The price of yellow and white chrysanthemums varies depending on their quality and appearance.
Mr. Hieu (the owner of the chrysanthemum garden) is spraying chemicals to “stimulate” the flowers to bloom at the right time. Mr. Hieu said that before, his family had 6 sao of flower fields, but after Typhoon Yagi, there were only a few rows left. The price of flowers this year is half of last year’s, so he is determined to lose money. Similarly, this year's violets also dropped sharply, down to 2,500 VND/plant compared to 5,000 VND/plant last year. After the storm, people planted violets en masse, so the price dropped sharply. Ms. Lan (owner of the dahlia garden) is cutting flowers to harvest. The price of this type of flower is currently 30,000 VND/bunch of 7 flowers. This type of flower is bought by people for worship and going to pagodas, so the price may increase in the days before Tet. Lilies are covered with netting to protect them and help them grow well. The market price of lilies is currently around 30,000 VND/branch of 5 flowers. This year's lily price has not been adjusted compared to last year. Roses are difficult to bloom and are scarce after the storm, so prices are higher than last year. Last year's selling price was 5,000 VND/flower. This year, the price of roses is around 8,000-12,000 VND/flower. This year, gerbera daisies are sold for 50,000-70,000 VND/bush. Flower growers said that the price of gerbera daisies this year is no different from last year. Tay Tuu flower capital often "covers" wholesale flower markets such as Quang An, Nhon market, Phung town and some other neighboring areas.
