Tridge summary

The article reports a significant increase in the prices of tomatoes, kohlrabi, scallions, celery, chrysanthemum, potatoes, chayote, white radish, taro, broccoli, cabbage, sticky rice, and various meats and seafood. The price hike is attributed to rainy weather hindering vegetable growth and decreasing supply, especially during the Tet season when demand is high. Additionally, the ongoing epidemic and expected cold rain are expected to further drive up lemongrass prices. Consumers are facing sticker shock as the cost of items that used to cost 10,000 VND now require the same amount of money to buy only a small portion.
