Market prices have stabilized after the Lunar New Year.

(Baonghean.vn) -Unlike previous years, according to our reporter's observations, at the beginning of the Lunar New Year of the Snake (2013), the market prices in the province remained relatively stable with little fluctuation.

In particular, while it's common for vegetable prices to skyrocket after the Lunar New Year due to the cold, rainy weather, this year, in markets throughout the city and districts, vegetable prices have only increased slightly compared to normal days, by 10-15%, with abundant supply. Prices of food items such as beef, chicken, and pork remain relatively stable compared to the period before Tet. Free-range chicken costs 150,000 VND/kg (live), beef (grade 3) costs 170,000 VND/kg, and grade 1 beef costs 220,000 VND/kg. However, fruit prices have increased significantly. On the 7th day of Tet, Quy Hop oranges cost 80,000 VND/kg, dragon fruit 45,000 VND/kg, and mangosteen 50,000 VND/kg…

In Vinh City, commercial and service activities are bustling and vibrant. From the morning of the first day of Tet (Lunar New Year), many shops and stalls opened, with some selling eel porridge and eel soup to serve customers seeking good luck at the beginning of the year, based on the belief that "a good start leads to a good finish."



The difficult living conditions of workers have led to a decrease in purchasing power during this year's Tet holiday.




Prices at the supermarket are stable.

Currently, markets have resumed normal operations. In supermarkets, prices are stable, product quality is guaranteed, meeting the needs and preferences of consumers, especially for high-quality, domestically produced goods at reasonable prices.

Overall, goods are abundant and diverse, with no signs of supply shortages. Currently, market prices in the province are trending downwards. Surveys of several markets in the city show that prices of fresh food, vegetables, and fruits have decreased significantly. The return to stable prices compared to pre-Tet levels has created a sense of comfort for consumers. It is believed that the economic downturn and difficult living conditions for workers are the reasons for the reduced purchasing power during this year's Tet holiday, resulting in relatively stable prices.
