These days, walking through the commodity markets at large shopping centers, Vinh market, or business stores, people will feel the Tet atmosphere through the decoration of the sales area, and especially the "flood" of necessary goods for the Lunar New Year.
To serve the shopping needs of people during Tet, since December 2011, supermarkets, shopping malls and a number of large enterprises in the province have prepared goods with a total value of nearly 200 billion VND. Leading the output of goods prepared for Tet is Metro Supermarket (total value of 60 billion VND), followed by Big C Supermarket (value of 40 billion VND), Intimex Supermarket (25 billion VND), Vietnam-Laos Economic Cooperation Investment Joint Stock Company (25 billion VND), General Agricultural Import-Export Joint Stock Company (15 billion VND), Friendship Joint Stock Company (13 billion VND)...

Goods prepared for Tet this year are quite diverse, rich, beautiful designs, meeting the tastes of consumers. Especially during this Tet holiday, food safety is of concern to businesses. On the products, the manufacturer's address, expiry date, ingredients are clearly stated...
Through market observation, the types of goods serving Tet are rice, sticky rice, sugar, cooking oil, meat, sausage, banh chung, beer, wine, candy... but there are not many new designs and one thing that makes businesses worried is that up to this point, the "power" of goods consumption is still slow, the number of sales is limited compared to the same period last year. To "attract" customers to shop during Tet, businesses are applying many promotional programs, such as discounts, gifts, lucky draws... with a total value of up to 500 million VND.
In addition to the amount of goods prepared by businesses to serve Tet, the Provincial People's Committee has decided to support and assign businesses to reserve essential goods with a total value of 34.77 billion VND to stabilize prices when there are fluctuations before, during and after Tet. Mr. Phan Thanh Tinh - Director of the Department of Industry and Trade said: "With the support capital of the province, we have helped prepare a large amount of reserve goods, such as 650 tons of rice, 30 tons of sticky rice, 280,000 liters of cooking oil, 750 tons of sugar, 45 tons of candy. Through inspections at businesses assigned to reserve goods, such as Minh Phuong Co., Ltd., Huu Nghi Joint Stock Company, Viet - Lao Investment and Development Joint Stock Company, Hoang Long Food Processing Company, Intimex Nghe An Branch, General Agricultural Products Import - Export Joint Stock Company, Son Hai Co., Ltd., Thanh Nghe Tinh Food Joint Stock Company, all have fully prepared goods, in the correct quantity".
Also during Tet, inspection and control work to contribute to price stabilization was also carried out vigorously by the authorities. The Department of Industry and Trade coordinated with relevant departments, branches and districts on National Highway 48 to establish inspection teams for essential goods. In Vinh City, Cua Lo Town... inspection work was carried out regularly. The fight against smuggling and trade fraud was strengthened.
Lunar New Year is approaching and the market for goods serving Tet will be complicated, so in addition to the efforts of all levels and functional sectors, business units also need to actively participate in price stabilization to ensure the rights of consumers.
