TPO - After the Lunar New Year, at Quang An Flower Market, Tay Ho ( Hanoi ), vendors still sell peach blossoms and remaining ornamental plants to save capital, hoping that someone will buy them to decorate on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

After Tet, the vendors still shake their heads in dismay.

Although it is past the 10th day of Tet, Quang An flower market in Tay Ho is still full of peach blossom stalls hoping to sell off losses after a year of sluggish peach and kumquat market.

Ms. Nguyen Tam Linh (46 years old, a trader at Quang An market): "This year, people's purchasing power is only 1/10 of last year, so after Tet, we still have to sell peach trees to make up for the loss."

Peach blossom branches sold for 800,000-1,000,000 before Tet, but now only cost 200,000-300,000 VND.

Selling at a loss like that but the atmosphere is still quiet, deserted and few people buy.

Mr. Vu Van Tien (65 years old, Hang Bac) said: "Today I bought more peach blossoms to prepare for the 15th day of the first lunar month as well as to replace the old peach blossoms before Tet. I play with peach blossoms all year round, and after Tet I still buy peach blossoms, and the price is cheaper."

Small traders do not have enough money to sell after Tet, many peach branches lie abandoned in the garbage dump.
