In Ho Chi Minh City, flower traders can import goods from wholesale markets such as Ho Thi Ky market (District 10), Dam Sen market (District 11) or Hau Giang flower market (District 6). These are places that gather many types of flowers transported from major flower growing regions.

If you sell flowers seasonally and import small quantities like agents, the price will be higher than when buying wholesale. Therefore, you should consult prices at many different markets to choose the right source of goods.

Some other notes when importing fresh flowers to sell on March 8

When importing fresh flowers, you need to pay attention to some important points. Because of the seasonal business, you should not import too much at once to avoid inventory and damage. Flowers do not last as long as other items, so you need to calculate the reasonable quantity.

You should prioritize importing flowers from flower markets or flower gardens near your business location to reduce transportation costs. Flower markets are often purchased by wholesalers and then resold, the price is higher and the quality of the flowers may be affected.

Selling a variety of flowers gives customers more choices. When buying goods, be careful with your personal belongings because flower markets often have thieves taking advantage of crowds to pickpocket.

Each type of flower has its own preservation characteristics. Roses wilt easily, so avoid importing large quantities. Gladiolus lasts longer, when selling, just remove the wilted leaves and tie them up. When choosing single flowers, choose straight stems and buds that have just opened.

To keep flowers fresh, crush an aspirin and put it in the water and change the water regularly. Flowers should be protected from the sun and wind to avoid wilting and crushing.

When shipping, you should divide the flowers into different types, bundle 5-10 branches and then pack them in boxes to send. In addition, you can combine selling fruit to increase revenue.

Promoting on social media and forums helps attract customers to book in advance. You can create beautiful flower arrangements, especially with Tet and zodiac themes to attract buyers.
