Large kumquat trees, which were priced at millions a few days ago, are now being sold for only 200,000 - 400,000 VND. Some shops even give away small kumquat trees if you buy a large one. In addition, some households have committed to delivering them home without charging a fee to please customers, but sales are still very poor. Photo: Quang An |
