This year, we noticed the special interest of consumers in gift sets, especially sour sausage, so we decided to expand our products by packaging Tet gift sets. This not only helps customers choose easily but also meets the need for gift giving on this important holiday."
To ensure supply-demand balance and market stability from now until the Lunar New Year 2025, the Department of Industry and Trade will continue to closely coordinate with departments, branches and localities to closely monitor the market situation. The goal is to ensure adequate supply of essential goods to meet people's needs, avoiding shortages or price hikes, especially during the upcoming peak season. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen inspection and supervision at supermarkets, convenience stores and traditional markets, and coordinate with competent authorities to ensure that goods are not only of good quality but also of clear origin, in order to protect consumer rights and maintain market stability.
