Dong Thap province is famous for its Lai Vung pink mandarin, which has only one harvest a year - just before Tet (Lunar New Year). The pink mandarin is one of the favourite fruits during the traditional festival because of its beautiful colour, thin skin and sweet and unique flavour the fact it has few seeds. In recent years, farmers have grown the fruit trees in pots and sold them for display during Tet holiday. This year, with favourable weather conditions, gardeners have prepared to supply about 1,200 pots of pink tangerines with prices ranging from 1.5 to 5 million VND (57 - 190 USD) per pot to serve the holiday market.
