The representative of the Trade Management Department, Department of Industry and Trade said: except for one general agent, Huyen Vinh Company Limited in Hamlet 1, Nghi Quang Commune, most of the gas stations that have ceased operations are small-scale, located on inconvenient routes and locations, so their business is not effective. Especially, since the State tightened the supply of gas and oil and still maintains the current low discount rate, they are losing money. In addition, some stores and businesses due to physical conditionsnot meet fire prevention requirementsWhen renewing or renewing the certificate, due to health reasons, the business had to stop.
