In the early days of spring, in the vegetable fields of Moc Son ward, farmers are busy tending and harvesting green vegetables for the market. For local farmers, making the most of the beginning of the year not only ensures timely order fulfillment and sales progress but also carries the symbolic meaning of a lucky first sale for the entire production year.

Nguyen Thi Luyen, Director of Tu Nhien Safe Vegetable Cooperative, said that on the morning of February 22 or the 6th day of the Lunar New Year (Tet), the cooperative gathered enough orders for 3 tonnes of clean vegetables to be shipped to Hanoi. This first order of the year is not only economically meaningful but also a positive signal. The cooperative hopes for more stable orders throughout the year so that farmers can confidently focus on production and continue supplying clean, safe, and high-quality vegetables to the market.

While rural areas are bustling with early spring farming activities, industrial zones have also quickly resumed operations from the first days of the year. This demonstrates strong consensus and determination from both enterprises and workers to seize opportunities early and strive to accomplish their production and business plans.

At Vinatea Moc Chau, after handshakes and Tet greetings during the early spring launching ceremony, an enthusiastic and joyful atmosphere spread throughout the company, motivating employees to complete their assigned tasks. The firm launched emulation movements in production and business, encouraging workers to take on tasks suited to their abilities, promote initiatives, and improve techniques.

Le Chi Long, Director of Vinatea Moc Chau, stated that the company currently manages more than 550 hectares of raw tea material areas, mainly Moc Chau Shan Tuyet tea varieties. All stages from cultivation, care, harvesting, collection, processing to distribution are controlled under contracts to create products that are safe for consumers, traceable in origin, and oriented toward sustainable, modern agriculture with high economic value.

This year, the company aims to achieve a fresh tea bud output of over 10,100 tonnes and produce more than 2,300 tonnes of finished tea products, including exporting over 500 tonnes to its key market, Japan. At the same time, it will increase the purchasing price of fresh tea leaves by 40% for tea gardens that meet export standards for the Japanese market.

At tourist areas and attractions, starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, all staff members were mobilised to meet visitors’ sightseeing and experiential needs. During the Tet holiday, tourist sites and service businesses in the Moc Chau National Tourist Area welcomed more than 100,000 visitors, generating revenue of over 100 billion VND (3.85 million USD). Many attractions drew large numbers of visitors, such as Moc Chau Island; Happy Land Moc Chau; Dai Yem Waterfall Ecotourism Area; Ang Hamlet Pine Forest Tourist Area; Moc Chau Walking Street - Night Market; and community-based tourism villages, which are ideal destinations for visitors.

Hoang Manh Duy, Deputy Director of Moc Chau Island, stated: “During the Lunar New Year holiday, the tourist area welcomed mo0re than 20,000 visitors, with estimated revenue exceeding 10 billion VND. To serve tourists coming for sightseeing and experiences, we mobilised 100% of our staff to work from the second day of Tet. In addition, we organised traditional Tet activities with local ethnic communities, including Xoe dance exchanges, Mong panpipe performances, enjoying distinctive local cuisine, and experiencing the highland Tet atmosphere, giving visitors special impressions when coming to Moc Chau Island in the first days of the new year.”

Nguyen Thanh Mai, a visitor from Hanoi, shared: “My family chose Moc Chau for our first trip of the year because the atmosphere and scenery here are wonderful. Although the number of visitors was large, when we came to Moc Chau Island, I found that the organisation are very professional and the activities were diverse, bringing us enjoyable experiences during the early days of spring.”

The enthusiastic spirit in the first working days of the Lunar New Year is spreading determination among workers in the fields and along every production line in the factories, contributing to the plateau’s confidence as it moves toward a breakthrough new year and successfully fulfills its set goals.
