In the peach-growing hub of Toan Luu commune, Ha Tinh province, recent heavy rains and Typhoon No. 10 have wreaked havoc on peach orchards. Many trees have been uprooted, toppled, and left to wither, with the majority of the damage affecting trees prepared for the upcoming Tet market.
Many peach farmers invested their entire year’s savings and efforts into nurturing and shaping their trees, hoping for a bountiful harvest during Tet. However, prolonged heavy rains have caused widespread tree death, forcing farmers to cut down their losses.
With just three months until Tet, countless 3-5-year-old peach trees, primed for the holiday market, have withered and died, leaving farmers heartbroken and financially devastated.
Mr. Bui Cong Phuong (56), a resident of Toan Luu commune, cultivated over 700 peach trees on nearly 1 hectare of land. However, the recent floods and storms have caused many trees to uproot, their roots waterlogged, leading to gradual death. The withering continues unabated.
“My family has over 700 peach trees on nearly 1 hectare. The withering hasn’t stopped; about 500 trees have died with no chance of recovery, resulting in losses of hundreds of millions of dong. Prolonged heavy rains saturated the soil, causing the trees, especially 3-5-year-old ones nearing peak economic value, to weaken rapidly. A year’s effort has been nearly wiped out,” shared Mr. Phuong.
Beyond the loss of trees, surviving peach farmers face concerns about flower quality. Post-typhoon, many trees are weakened, growing slowly, and may not bloom in time for Tet.
Toan Luu commune boasts over 110 hectares of flower and ornamental plant cultivation, with approximately 600 households growing peaches across 108 hectares, primarily in Kim Son and Xuan Son villages. Annually, the area supplies thousands of peach trees and chrysanthemums for Tet. However, post-flood damage has left many households without income for the holiday.
In Kim Son village alone, over 30,000 peach trees aged 1-3 years have perished. Villagers face an exceptionally challenging Tet ahead.
The Toan Luu commune authorities report that following the recent storms, tens of thousands of peach trees have been damaged or destroyed, inflicting severe losses on farmers. This critical season, where years of care culminate in Tet income, has been devastated. Beyond the lost trees, officials worry that surviving trees may produce lower-quality flowers due to storm-induced weakness. Local authorities are collaborating with residents to assess damage, provide recovery support, and salvage viable trees to mitigate the impact on the upcoming Tet season.
