HCMC halts operation of Dam Sen Flower Market due to Covid-19

Unlike ordinary days, flower trading activities at Dam Sen Flower Market are now switched to purchase under online form following a requirement of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City on Covid-19 prevention and control and amidst the current complicated situation of the Covid-19 pandemic in District 11.

According to the Municipal Department of Industry and Trade, the Economic Division of District 11 assigned Dam Sen Services Collective as Dam Sen Flower Market’s main investor to guide and support small business owners to perform online trading for the flowers reception and distribution processes.

All the business owners in Dam Sen Flower Market comply with the policy; however, the suspension would also affect the flower supply chains from the flower hubs of Lam Dong, Dong Thap Provinces and other localities to Ho Chi Minh City.
