(Baonghean.vn) - Grasping the tastes of the people every time Tet comes, in recent years, some people in Yen Thanh rice district have switched from growing rice to growing flowers, which has brought in high income. In the days before Tet, people "flock" to buy flowers, admire flowers and take pictures at the flower growing village in Tran Phu hamlet (Block 1 - Yen Thanh district town - Nghe An), creating a bustling atmosphere.
Mr. Phan Van Bao, the owner of a flower garden, excitedly said: “This year the weather is favorable, the gardens have a bumper crop. The exciting thing is that the price of flowers has doubled compared to last Tet. My family grows 6 sao of flowers, mainly chrysanthemums. This Tet, each sao earns over 70 million VND, dozens of times more than farming without much effort.”
Currently, in Yen Thanh there are hundreds of households growing flowers, but most are concentrated in the town. There are families earning hundreds of millions of dong from growing flowers, such as Mr. Loi, Mr. Thao, Mr. Hoi...
Flower villages on rice fields not only break the monoculture, creating a good source of income for farmers but also create a springtime beauty for the rice fields of Yen Thanh.
