“In order to supply the
market on Vietnam Teacher’s Day, we have imported some 10 thousand
flower branches, including 5,000 branches of roses, and 3,000 of
orchid,” said Ms. Nguyen Thanh Tam, owner of Bien Hoa Flower Shop.
According to her, the prices approximately have a 40%-50% increase
before the holiday. They must double on Nov. 20 and the surrounding
days. The highest prices are charged to roses, flowers of orchid and
lilies. At present, each rose is priced at VDN7,000 to VND10,000,
VDN6,000 to VND7,000 for gerbera. Others’ prices range from VND20,000
to VND30,000.

Lack of fresh
flower supply on the holiday |
Mr. Thai Bao, a shopkeeper in
Boys Flower Shop, the shop has added more than 10 thousand roses of all
kinds. Flowers for Teacher’s Day had sold well since Nov. 17. “Nov. 20
holiday is different from others, flowers are bought quite early. The reason
is that some teachers only have several classes per week, so students want
to give flowers to them at class, before the holiday.”
According to the shop owners,
majority of students choose roses and gerberas because of their reasonable
prices. Working and high-income people tend to buy lilies or orchid flowers. In
spite of higher price compared to last years, amounts of flowers sold do not
decline.
