The fascinating Binh Dien market during Tet (Lunar New Year).

The market is overflowing with colorful flowers and the festive atmosphere of Tet.

The market was held at Binh Dien Market, on Phu Loi Street. Right from the opening, the market attracted a large number of visitors, cooperatives, business households, and people from within and outside the area.

With numerous stalls showcasing agricultural products, specialties, and OCOP (One Commune One Product) products such as Thanh Binh tangerines, Binh Dien agarwood, buffalo horn-shaped cakes, hybrid wild boar, and free-range chicken, the market provides an opportunity for visitors to enjoy and explore the unique flavors of highland cuisine ; it is also a chance for farmers to connect, trade, find partners, and expand their product markets.

Over the two days, the market also featured many meaningful and interesting activities, such as giving 110 Tet gifts, each worth 500,000 VND, to disadvantaged households; participating in the "Sharing Tet - Giving Love" program; shopping at the "zero-cost stall" of the Women's Union and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the commune; participating in the sticky rice cake making and weaving competitions; enjoying cultural performances and community cultural activities by the traditional folk song club of the Pa Hy ethnic group…

“Through this market fair, we hope to spread the image of the people and land of Binh Dien more widely to friends near and far; at the same time, create a bridge between producers and businesses, cooperatives, distribution units…, contributing to promoting cooperative investment and developing agricultural production in an efficient and sustainable direction,” said Mr. Tran Xuan Anh – Chairman of the People's Committee of Binh Dien commune.
