On November 19, trucks carrying Da Lat flowers trapped in the middle of Khanh Le Pass (National Highway 27C, Khanh Hoa Province) returned to Da Lat after being rescued.
These trucks transported flowers to return to the flower plantations, and at the same time announced that they would not collect tolls.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Huong - a resident of Lang Biang - Da Lat ward - said that on November 16, she sent 7 boxes of flowers to a bus company to Quang Ngai for service on the occasion of November 20.
Due to the landslide on Khanh Le Pass, the flowers could not reach the recipients. At noon on November 19, Ms. Huong received the 7 boxes of flowers back. When opened, the flowers had withered and rotten leaves, causing a loss of about 30 million VND.
Similarly, at other flower fields, people sadly received the boxes of yellow roses after 2 days and 3 nights of trucks in the middle of Khanh Le Pass.
Through research, each box of roses is worth 7 - 8 million VND, each truck carrying roses is worth 2 - 2.4 billion VND.
On the night of November 16, many trucks were stuck in the middle of Khanh Le Pass, then had to return to Da Lat to return the flowers to the plantations.
It is known that since November 13, many Da Lat flower plantations have sent flowers to the Northern and Central provinces to serve the market on November 20. However, due to traffic jams, landslides, and flooding, the flowers cannot reach the consumption location.
