Farmers catch up with the trend of making Tet flowers and ornamental plants at affordable prices

At this time, gardeners in Binh Thuy district, Can Tho city are urgently taking care of flowers and ornamental plants to achieve good quality in time to serve the Tet market.

In addition to marigolds, Mr. Truong Van Tan (Binh Thuy District, Can Tho City) also added short-term mini flower baskets, which are both easy to care for and have been popular with consumers in recent years.

Mr. Tan shared that most of the flowers supplied to the Tet market this year are in the affordable price segment. Marigolds are expected to cost around 70,000 VND/pair, and short-term mini flower baskets are from 20,000 VND/basket.

This year, Mr. Nguyen Van Truyen (Binh Thuy District, Can Tho City) also changed his strategy, switching to producing flowers and ornamental plants for Tet at affordable prices.

Mr. Truyen said that consumers currently tend to choose to buy small, compact bonsai to display during the 3 days of Tet, suitable for their budget and home space, especially for families living in urban areas.

"A few years ago, I mainly made bonsai models for Tet with prices ranging from several million VND/plant, even tens of millions of VND. But in recent years, the bonsai industry has become quite competitive while the economy is still difficult, so I decided to produce small bonsai pots. With prices ranging from 100,000 - 200,000 VND/plant, customers such as workers and low-income laborers can also enjoy bonsai," said Mr. Truyen.

According to information from the Binh Thuy District Agricultural Extension Station (Can Tho City), the number of ornamental flowers serving the Tet market in 2025 will be equivalent to that of 2024, estimated at over 200,000 baskets. In order for the finished flowers and ornamental plants to be of high quality and attract customers, the station has supported gardeners in the production and consumption process. From there, it helps gardeners balance the output of reasonable planting, avoid excess goods as well as diversify products to easily access the market.
