Fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, dragon fruits, guavas, apples, etc. are often favored by people during the Lunar New Year. Therefore, gardeners who grow these fruit trees are actively taking care of them, waiting for the day to harvest and sell, hoping to get a good price during the Lunar New Year 2025.
Cam Xa Doai (Nghi Dien commune, Nghi Loc) used to be a royal product, with a special flavor that cannot be compared to any other orange. The orange has a bright yellow color, is fragrant when cut open, has a yellow flesh like honey, and a sweet taste, and is chosen by many people as a Tet gift.

During Tet, Xa Doai oranges are sold by people at 70,000-80,000 VND/fruit, even 100,000 VND/fruit. Despite the high price, this type of orange is "competed to buy" by many people and many people have ordered them a month before Tet.
