Fruit orchards enter the Tet harvest season

As the Lunar New Year approaches, fruit-growing regions across the province are coming alive with renewed vitality. On rolling hillsides, orange and pomelo orchards enter the harvest season, with ripe fruits turning golden, plump, and fragrant under the sun. Beyond ushering in the colors of spring to rural areas, the Tet harvest season of oranges and pomelos opens a full “sweet fruit” season - the result of farmers’ hard work and hopes, contributing to a warm, abundant Tet for many households.

The family of Tran Cong Thang in Phuc Ninh Village, Xuan Van Commune owns more than one hectare of Dien pomelo, which is now at peak ripeness.

Currently, Dien pomelo prices at orchards range from VND 20,000 to VND 50,000 per fruit, depending on size and appearance. According to growers, prices have remained relatively stable to ensure strong consumption and to maintain the reputation of Dien pomelo - a familiar fruit on Tet offering trays in many Vietnamese families.

Golden-yellow, round, and full pomelos resemble lanterns, creating an early spring scene that is warm and full of vitality in the countryside.

These days, Mr. Thang’s family is busy harvesting and sorting pomelos to meet Tet market demand.

Alongside pomelos, oranges and mandarins are also entering the Tet harvest season, forming a lively picture of ripening fruits across rural areas.

Amid orchards heavy with fruit, the bright smiles on sun-tanned faces of farmers clearly reflect a successful “sweet fruit” season.

To expand market access, farmers are proactively using smartphones to promote their products on digital platforms.

Clusters of ripe, deep-orange Duong Canh oranges, sweet and flavorful, bring warmth to orchards in the final days of the year.

After harvesting, pomelos are transported to collection points and carefully graded to ensure quality before reaching consumers.

High-quality pomelos and oranges with attractive appearances are especially favored by consumers during the Tet holiday.
