20 million branches of Da Lat flower at risk of being discarded due to Covid-19

(VAN) The Lam Dong provincial Department of Industry and Trade has proposed to reopen Dam Sen Flower Market in HCM City to save 20 million branches of flowers at risk of being thrown away.

According to the Da Lat Flower Association, more than three months ago, flower growers in Da Lat grew new crops and the association pledged to support the selling of flower for people on the occasion of May 1 and the upcoming Tết Đoan Ngọ Festival held on the fifth of the fifth lunar month to protect the crops and health of people with fruit feast.

Phan Thanh Sang, chairman of Da Lat Flower Association, said that it is expected that about 20 million branches of Da Lat flowers will supply more than 200 flower stalls and business households at Dam Sen market according to the signed agreement.

However, due to the social distancing because of the COVID-19 epidemic, markets, supermarkets, convenience stores and business places in HCM City had to close to prevent the disease. This makes all of the above flowers being at risk of having to be thrown away as they can’t be sold. Therefore, the damage can reach hundreds of billions of VND.

To deal with this issue, the Department of Industry and Trade of Lam Dong province has asked the Department of Industry and Trade of HCM City to consider and create conditions for the reopening of Dam Sen Flower Market on June 7-14 to help to consume all the flowers of Lam Dong farmers who signed a commitment to grow early this year and their harvest day is coming.
