Mr. Tran Van Phu (owner of a flower and ornamental plant garden in Kim Phuc) said that for flower and ornamental plant growers, Tet is the time to supply the largest quantity to the market and also the time to bring in the highest income of the year. Currently, he has imported nearly 30 types of flowers and ornamental plants to serve the Tet flower season. Flowers are taken from all regions of the North - Central - South. "On normal days, there are only 1-2 workers working. During Tet, goods arrive continuously, so we have to hire 4-5 more people to work by the hour and season. Wages are paid depending on the nature of the work," Mr. Phu shared.
