Vinh City is short of space for rent to sell flowers and ornamental plants.
(Baonghean.vn) - In the month before the Lunar New Year, many places selling flowers and ornamental plants have started up. Currently, many people want to rent a place to sell during the Lunar New Year but all of them receive the answer "already rented", even though the price in some places is up to tens of millions of VND per location.
There is less than a month left until the New Year’s Eve. At the local markets, on the main roads, and on the “traditional” streets, many stalls selling flowers and ornamental plants have begun to open. Customers have also begun to buy flowers and ornamental plants to decorate their homes for Tet.
On Le Nin Street, extending to the intersection with Highway 46 to Cua Lo town, flower and ornamental plant stalls have customers coming and going. On both sides of the road, some stalls are setting up tents, mainly selling peach, kumquat and other large bonsai trees such as grapefruit, Indian laurel, sanh, etc.
Mr. Hoang Son, the owner of a flower and ornamental plant shop on Le Nin Street, said that up to now, his shop has completed orders for flowers and ornamental plants from gardens in and outside the province. More than half have been delivered to the gardeners. "In the years before the pandemic, around the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, my wife and I had to hire 1-3 more people to help, along with mobilizing family members to be able to manage and meet the needs of consulting and shopping. But this year, the consumer shopping situation is forecast to be more limited, so I do not import large quantities like previous years, and do not need to hire workers yet," Mr. Son shared.
However, according to the reporter's records, this year, renting space to display flowers and ornamental plants is scarce, the rental price is high so many people cannot rent.flower and ornamental plant shopssatisfied

On some vacant plots of land without houses built on them, on the surrounding corrugated iron sheets, there are contact phone numbers with the content “land for sale” or “land for rent”. We contacted a few of the above phone numbers, the other end picked up the phone and immediately asked “do you want to rent land to sell flowers and ornamental plants?”, and “it is already rented, please understand”.
It is known that the rental price for 1 month during Tet ranges from 40 - 60 million VND/land plot (120-140m2)2). Although the price of the premises is sky-high, the landlords said that the tenants had already placed orders 2 months ago, so at present there is no more "product" to rent.
As for the year-round flower and ornamental plant shops along both sides of Le Nin Street, Mr. Hoang Son, a shop owner, said that the rental price also varies depending on the location. Mr. Son's family has been in the flower and ornamental plant business for many years and the shop location is rented for 25 million VND/month for a term of 5 years. By the end of 2022, the land owner has announced that the rental price will be adjusted, expected to be much higher than the current price.
