| The shallot season starts from July to February (AL). At this time, the shallots are not yet ripe, the plants have not shed their leaves to be dried and used as seeds, but people still harvest a part to sell fresh shallots, partly because the price of shallots is good at the beginning of the season (40-50k/kg of fresh bulbs), and also to earn money for Tet.

| Growing onions brings in higher income than growing rice, but it is more difficult. You have to buy chaff, rake pine needles in the forest, pick reeds and sedges to cover and keep the onion beds warm, and regularly hoe and kill insects, rats, etc. Photo: Trung Ha |

| The bumper onion crop and good prices bring people a good source of income to celebrate Tet. Young people are mainly working far away, while women and the elderly are the main people in the fields. Photo: Trung Ha |
