October 20 flower market in Vinh City: Crowded places, deserted places

Over the past few days, many flower shops in Vinh City have been busy arranging flowers to serve the market on Vietnamese Women's Day, October 20. Most shops said they had to mobilize more workers to meet the demand for customers who buy directly as well as order online. Photo: Nguyen Chau

According to a survey, the price of fresh flowers on the occasion of October 20 this year increased 2-3 times compared to normal days, partly due to the high cost of transportation. The types of flowers with strong price increases include roses, lilies, hydrangeas... Photo: Nguyen Chau

Currently, flower prices are divided into distinct segments. The most popular flower basket costs around 200,000 - 250,000 VND. The main price ranges from 300,000 - 600,000 VND. If you want to order according to your requirements at a higher price, you must contact the shop directly... Photo: Nguyen Chau

In contrast to that bustle, over the past few days, flower shops in traditional markets such as Quang Trung, Quan Lau, Vinh markets... have been quite deserted. Many shop owners here are worried that they will not be able to sell all their goods today because in the following days, the purchasing power for fresh flowers will decrease, making the market less vibrant.
