    "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.
