These days, the atmosphere in Cam Ha kumquat village, Hoi An Tay Ward, Da Nang City—known as the “kumquat capital of Central Vietnam”—is more vibrant than ever. From the village center to the narrow paths leading to each garden, the air is filled with the sounds of people and pruning shears. Farmers are busy nurturing and preparing the most beautiful kumquat pots for the 2026 Lunar New Year market.

While trimming a fruit-laden kumquat pot in his garden, Mr. Le Minh Tam—a renowned kumquat farmer in Cam Ha—shared that his family plans to sell over 3,200 kumquat pots this Tet season, including around 200 large pots.

“To date, thousands of kumquat pots we’ve nurtured over the past year have been pre-ordered by traders. Small pots range from 500,000 to 700,000 VND each, while large ones fetch between a few million and tens of millions, depending on their shape. After expenses, I expect to earn over 100 million VND this Tet season,” Mr. Tam shared cheerfully.

Just steps away from Mr. Tam’s garden, Nguyen Kien’s plot holds 1,600 kumquat pots. Despite challenging weather, Kien’s proactive monitoring of water, fertilizer, and technical measures ensured his kumquats thrived, boasting even canopies, abundant fruit, and vibrant colors.

According to Mr. Tam, Mr. Kien, and many other farmers in Cam Ha, traders from Quang Tri, Hue, Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, and beyond have been flocking to the gardens since late October (lunar calendar) to inspect trees, negotiate prices, and place deposits.

Fruit-laden kumquat pots, now ripening to a golden yellow, are ready to grace the 2026 Lunar New Year market.

The Hoi An Tay Ward Career Supply Center reports that in 2025, the total area for flower and ornamental plant production reached approximately 531,000 m², with over 272,000 m² dedicated to kumquat cultivation. This includes nearly 145,000 kumquat saplings, over 104,000 potted kumquats, and 23,000 mini kumquats.

With traders eagerly securing orders and this year’s high-quality kumquats, farmers in Cam Ha village are poised for a bountiful Tet season.
