Hanoi is experiencing a slight increase in the prices of essential goods such as pork, vegetables, and fruits at local markets, despite the ample food supply in the capital. However, supermarkets have not noticed any significant price hikes. The price fluctuations are attributed to the decrease in the quantity of produce available. With the pandemic continuing to impact spending habits, businesses have shifted their focus to essential and popular goods, offering discounts and promoting online sales. Hanoi is being commended for its efforts in stabilizing consumer prices and implementing disease prevention measures in retail outlets.
