| Shallot season starts from July to February (AL). At this time, the onions are not yet ripe, the plants have not shed their leaves to be dried and used as seeds, but people still harvest a part to sell fresh onions, partly because the price of onions is good at the beginning of the season (40-50k/kg of fresh bulbs), and also to earn money for spending during Tet.

| Growing onions brings in higher income than growing rice, but it is more difficult. You have to buy rice husks, rake pine needles in the forest, pick reeds and sedges to cover and keep the onion beds warm, and you have to hoe regularly, kill insects, rats, etc. Photo: Trung Ha |

| The bumper crop and good prices bring good income to the people so that they can have a full Tet holiday. Young people mainly go to work far away, while the fields are mainly women and the elderly. Photo: Trung Ha |
