Supermarkets, shopping centers, convenience stores and local retailers report that the supply of essential goods this year is more abundant and stable than in previous years. Most retailers have proactively stocked goods early, prioritizing essential consumer products. A wide range of promotional programs helps consumers access quality goods at reasonable prices, supporting the circulation of goods at year- end.

In a bid to ensure a stable year-end market, the Hai Phong Department of Industry and Trade has issued many documents directing consumer goods production and distribution enterprises to proactively develop plans to balance supply and demand, increase reserves of essential goods, participate in price stabilization programs and encourage consumers to prioritize Vietnamese products.
