Due to the impact of the historic storm ( Yagi storm), this year, the output of Nhat Tan peach village - the oldest and most famous peach growing area in the North - has decreased sharply, causing peach prices to increase higher than previous years. The quantity of peaches for Tet this year has decreased significantly, especially the precious peach gardens, causing prices to increase.

"This year, peach blossoms bloom later than last year. It's the Tet flower season but many trees have not bloomed yet. Garden owners have decided to sell them retail until close to Tet to make more profit to compensate for the peach blossoms that died due to the flood," said Ms. Nga, a peach garden owner. "In previous years, the price of peach branches like this was only about 500,000 to 2 million VND/branch, this year the price is from 1.8 to 4 million VND/branch."
