Ensuring goods for Tet

Demand increases

Commodity market during the Lunar New Year of Buffalo 2021 is expected to increase slightly compared to normal days. This is the peak time for consumers to shop for goods, especially essential items for Tet. According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Huyen, living in ward 1, Kien Tuong townlet, every year, when the New Year comes, she prepares some more essential items such as cake, jam, food, drink, and so on to serve family as well as friends. In recent years, the advantage is that there are more shops and supermarkets in the area than before, so the quantity of goods is adequate and abundant, the consumers have more choices and the goods is not scarce so people do not purchase for stock as previous years. The people want the units to strictly inspect, control and manage the quality of goods and prices so that everyone can enjoy the spring, welcome the meaningful and warm New Year.

Ms. Tran Thi Hang Ny, living in Can Giuoc townlet, Can Giuoc district, said: “Although the Covid-19 epidemic has a significant impact on the family's life this year, the income has decreased significantly. When the new year comes, we also try to prepare enough utensils, food to celebrate the spring and Tet. Currently, I have a detailed plan to buy the really necessary goods, that is both economical, avoids waste and is thoughtful for Tet. The advantage is that the goods in a number of shops and supermarkets in the area are plentiful and publicly listed, so people can be assured when they go shopping”.
