On many streets in Hanoi such as Minh Khai, Phuong Mai, Tran Thai Tong... in the late afternoon, a series of motorbikes selling oranges appear, advertised as Vinh oranges at a cheap price of 30,000 VND/kg.

According to orange farm owners in Vinh, Vinh orange season starts from late October to January, the wholesale price for agents in Hanoi is 50,000 VND/kg, if customers buy retail price is 60,000 VND/kg, so there is no way Vinh oranges are sold in abundance in the market at cheap prices.
