Heavy rains on Wednesday flooded many roads in Tan Phu District. Apricot blossom traders said their trees had shed their yellow petals, making them difficult to sell. |
Tai, a trader on Go Dau Street, said that half of his marigolds were crushed by the rain. |
Many of his marigolds lost leaves and stems, so Tai is considering offering a 50 percent discount to attract buyers. |
Minh Phung, another seller on To Hieu Street, faced the same problem. |
“These roses often go for VND60,000 ($2.6) per pot, but the price has fallen by half now. I’m afraid even lower prices won't attract buyers,” Phung told VnExpress. |
Many of his marigolds were damaged. |
