As the lunar new year (tet) 2026 approaches:0% of orchids flower early, forcing farmers to cut stems for retail sale at much lower prices. Meanwhile, in Vinh Long province, early blooming has also affected chrysanthemum growers in Cho Lach district. According to Vietnam News Agency, the premature blooming of cymbidium orchids in Da Lat is significantly impacting local growers. With 80-90% of the orchids flowering ahead of schedule, farmers are compelled to sell the blooms at reduced prices, disrupting their expected revenue streams for the Tet season. This challenge is mirrored in Vinh Long, where chrysanthemum growers in Cho Lach district are also dealing with early blooms, complicating their preparations for the peak sales period. In Hung Yen, the situation offers a stark contrast, as the Me So village is bustling with activity, with growers working tirelessly to meet the demand for Tet. The village's flower and ornamental plant industry is gearing up for a busy season, as buyers seek out the best offerin gs for the upcoming celebrations. The differing experiences of these regions highlight the varied impacts of climate conditions and market dynamics on the flower industry as Tet approaches.
