The last peach branches were sold at noon on the 30th of Tet, however, the sadness was clearly visible on the faces of the peach sellers because this year, people's purchasing power has decreased significantly. Photo: QA

The kumquat market for Tet is equally gloomy. At the kumquat selling point in front of the central park gate of Vinh City, there are still more than 100 kumquat trees of all sizes that have not been sold, even though this is a place with a lot of people passing by. Photo: QA

Many kumquat shops have put up signs offering the same price for the past few days, but there are still very few buyers. Photo: QA

Kumquat trees that were priced from 500,000 to millions of dong in the past are now only under 500,000 dong, and sellers are also hoping to clear out all their goods in time for Tet. Mr. Nguyen Van Hung, a Tet kumquat trader, shared: "This year I imported 300 kumquat trees, however, today is the 30th and I have only sold half of them. Now I have kept the price the same, whoever can buy any tree can buy... This year is a big loss...". Photo: QA

Kumquat trees exposed to the sun and cold for many days have become wilted, yellowed, and lifeless. Buyers are no longer interested despite the low price. Photo: QA

According to records, Tet apricot is the slowest selling item this year, this is a less popular tree than peach and kumquat, however the price is higher.

The most beautiful apricot trees were bought by customers at noon on the 30th of Tet, the remaining apricot trees will certainly be difficult to sell out on the afternoon of the 30th of Tet. Photo: QA
