In Hanoi and other Vietnamese cities at this time, a potted cum cut tree fixed to the seat of a motorcycle woven on the roadway with orange Haze. The family will buy them as a symbol of the new month’s new year’s luck and luck that started on Wednesday.
This year, typhoons and extreme heat broke the harvest, scrambled the prices of Kumkato and other ornamental plants related to holidays known as Vietnam tets. Some people switched to those who purchased smaller cunkers and cheaper options like orchids. PERSIMMON branch。
Decorative plant farmers are sticking to unsold stock after a few months of price fluctuations in the market. In the case of Kumquats, the supply price increased at first because the supply is limited. Later, they made craters for lack of demand related to consumer anxiety and that this year’s golf ball -sized cum cut fruits are not so beautiful.
“We’re all sad,” said a 39 -year -old Nguyen THI HOA, a 39 -year -old NGUYEN THI HOA, who grows Kumcut trees near the red river in Hanoi. The unsold Kumcut tree stood near her. This is at least 40 % less than a typical year.
Imagine how important the New Year is for the people of Vietnam, the combination of Christmas and Thanksgiving, or as a holiday approaches, how is the ubiqued cumcat tree in Vietnam and a part of the nearby China? It will be difficult to exaggerate whether it is. Squat citrus plants are regularly present in the living room, shop, and office lobby.
In September, Typhoon YAGI flooded the northern farmland in northern Vietnam and damaged crops for Kumkato and other new year’s New Year’s consecutive staple food. Hoa said that the storm flood had killed about half of her 500 Cumcat trees she planted.
PHAM THI THANHH NGA, the director of the Meteorological Research Institute, Water Literature, and Climate Change in Vietnam, said that the average temperature and shortage of rainfall last year would impair the harvest.
The extreme weather was translated into a steep price in a market for the new year’s New Year’s Cumcat, Peach Flower, Banana, and a sidewalk stall. Farmers say that the lack of rain has weakened the kuncat tree and the fruits are no longer attractive.
“This tree is much more beautiful than what I thought,” said 39 -year -old NGUYEN THI NGUYET because he examined potted cum cut this week in the New Year Market in Hanoi. The fruits looked smaller and thinner than usual.
Trees are still expensive It is equivalent to about $ 80 or doubles her budget. As a result, NGUYET, who works in the Hanoi education division, paid $ 13 to the orchid bouquet imported from China.
NGUYEN THI loan, a retired teacher, was UN to see the price of 21 green bananas lying on a plastic tarp: $ 28. She usually pays a little $ 1.
“These are the most expensive bananas I’ve ever mentioned in my life,” said Loan, 64, that flower and pork sausage protruding from the shopping bag. Banana, a fruitful fruit to hold a family altar to honor the ancestors, is usually the cheapest item to buy on holidays, but this year is more expensive than meat.
“It’s unprecedented,” she said. “It’s crazy!”
Tran van Huy (50 years old), a banana vendor, did not shake the price. So, Mr. Loan purchased one bundle, not the three she planned. She said she would add other fruits this year to her family altar.
The sensitivity of price for decorative plants is part of the general economic false false in Vietnam, and is the function of NGO TRI Long, an official of the retired Ministry of Finance. Tell the news site Vnexpress this week. Vietnam’s economy increased by about 7 % last year, but Long said that pandemic and natural disasters have not completely recovered.
Consumers can adapt to the volatile market of Kumkato and other ornaments by changing what they buy, but farmers are still dealing with their effects.
NGUYEN DUC Vinh, one of Kumcut farmers on the outskirts of Hanoi, said that Yagi floods and strong winds lost 40 % of 3,000 trees. It was particularly painful because the wholesale trader examined the Kumcut farm and started ordering the Lunar New Year.
As the holidays approached, 51 -year -old Vin raised the price of wholesale items to cover labor costs. However, he did not bite the trader, so he reduced them to a normal price of about $ 10.
“This craft is more unstable than ever,” he said.
NGUYEN VAN LOI, Hanoi’s Kumcut vendor who purchased 1,000 trees from Vin, stated that it still had 400 rest even after the price was reduced to half on Monday.
“This is one of the worst years in my 10 -year transaction,” said Roy, 44 years old, sowed water on Kumkat trees to keep his wife fresh.
The couple of the motorcycle stopped and checked the price of the tree, and drove without buying anything.
