About the market where 'there are more sellers than buyers' in the Western region of Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - In a market in the center of Tri Le border commune, Que Phong district (Nghe An), it seems that no one is bothered about buying and selling. People still happily call this place "where there are more sellers than buyers".
 |
| The market in the center of Tri Le commune is 30km from the center of Que Phong district. There are temporary bamboo stalls here and mainly serve the needs of people in neighboring villages. |
 |
| Vendors mainly come from the Thai and Mong villages around the market... The market opens from early morning until late at night and is always filled with laughter. |
 |
| The whole market only sells local agricultural products and jungle knives. |
 |
| And the melon is still the most sold item. This is the fruit that appears in most of the daily meals of Thai, Mong and Khmu families in Tri Le. |
 |
What is special is that people in the market do not focus on buying and selling. Women in their free time can bring bundles of vegetables, fish, chickens, and potatoes to meet and chat. Therefore, each stall has dozens of people selling, while buyers only appear occasionally. Mr. Tho Ba Xo - Vice Chairman of Tri Le Commune People's Committee said: In the past, people often traded in the market, but because the inside was quite cramped, they gradually moved to the street. This spontaneous market has only appeared for less than a year. However, the market's activities do not affect the traffic safety corridor. The local government has promoted people to trade safe products and not sell pork because the locality has not yet been free of African swine fever. |
 |
| On this occasion, the mac tet fruit - a fruit related to the squash grown in many fields - is a favorite choice of buyers. |
 |
| An old woman left the market after selling all her vegetables. She told the reporter that she would return to the market early the next morning. Whether she sold all her vegetables or not, she was still happy because she met many familiar neighbors and shared life stories with them. |
