Storm No. 3 has passed, but the impact of the storm is still very large. Along with overcoming the consequences after the storm, the provision of adequate goods, ensuring the maintenance of supply, preventing shortages, shortages or sudden price increases, especially of food, foodstuffs, etc., is actively implemented by functional sectors, units and localities in the province. The source of goods and necessities for the people is still abundant and basically meets the needs of the people.
On September 13, the Prime Minister signed and issued Official Dispatch No. 95/CD-TTg on strengthening the supply of essential goods to serve people in localities affected by storm No. 3. The Official Dispatch clearly stated: It is necessary to ensure the supply of food, foodstuffs and essential necessities for people, at the same time strengthen supervision, inspection and control of the market, strictly handle violations, resolutely prevent hoarding and unreasonable price increases, especially medicines, textbooks, school supplies, foodstuffs, essential necessities to serve consumer needs, materials, biological products, plant varieties, livestock... of students, people and businesses after the storm.
To ensure adequate supply of essential goods for people, the Department of Industry and Trade has assigned specialized departments to grasp and inspect the reality at supermarkets and markets; grasp information in localities about the situation of goods and prices. Up to now, the situation of goods supply at supermarkets and markets in the province, especially in localities heavily affected by the storm, such as: Ha Long City, Quang Yen Town, Cam Pha City, the supply of food, foodstuffs and essential goods is still guaranteed to serve the needs of the people.
Recorded at large shopping centers and supermarkets, such as: Winmart Ha Long, GO! Ha Long, MM Mega Market, Lan Chi Quang Yen Supermarket... although the units were also affected by the storm, the supply of goods was still guaranteed to take place normally to serve the people because they had been prepared before the storm. To support the people, supermarkets have preferential policies on discounts and promotions for essential goods to serve the people after the storm. Typically: Winmart Ha Long Supermarket is promoting price stabilization by offering a promotional policy of 15-20% discount on essential goods, such as: Rice, filtered water, vegetables, tubers, meat, cooking oil... Goods put on the shelves are all increased by 20-50% compared to the time before the storm for people to buy and choose.
At the markets, after storm No. 3 passed, many traders cleaned up and sold their goods early from September 9. At many markets, there were a variety of goods for sale. According to records at Ha Long I market, Ha Long II market (Ha Long city) on September 15, goods, vegetables, and food were abundant. Prices of some vegetables and tubers have "cooled down" compared to the period from September 9-12. However, vegetable prices still increased by 15,000-20,000 VND depending on the type compared to before the storm; fresh seafood prices basically remained the same, slightly increased by about 20,000 VND/kg/depending on the type; pork prices remained stable, no increase. Along with that, items serving the Mid-Autumn Festival, such as: Toys, decorations, moon cakes... were brought back to the market by businesses after the storm. Many types of toys and moon cakes have reduced prices by 5-10% to stimulate shopping and meet people's needs.
Ms. Dinh Tuyet Nhung (Cao Thang Ward, Ha Long City) said: During and after storm No. 3, I saw that food was guaranteed. Although, up to this point, some essential goods, especially vegetables, have increased in price compared to before the storm, the price increase at this time is acceptable, because the supply of vegetables and tubers was heavily affected by the storm. Currently, I see that goods and necessities are very rich and diverse, meeting people's purchasing needs.
Along with essential goods, the supply of gasoline in the province to serve people and businesses is also guaranteed. According to the Department of Industry and Trade, the total reserve of gasoline in the province is currently about 167,000m3 . Traders have planned to import and reserve gasoline for the last months of the year, so it is completely enough to meet the needs of people and businesses in the province.
To ensure the supply of goods and prevent supply chain disruptions and hoarding, the Department of Industry and Trade continues to strengthen market management and supervision, especially for food, foodstuffs, gasoline, essential goods; closely follow market developments, prices, supply and demand of essential goods for consumption, production and business in the area to proactively have practical, timely and effective solutions within its authority. Along with that, strengthen coordination with functional forces and localities to monitor, inspect and control the market, strictly handle violations, resolutely prevent hoarding and unreasonable price increases, especially for medicines, textbooks, school supplies, food, essential necessities for consumption and supplies, biological products, plant varieties, livestock, etc. to restore and ensure production and business activities of people, businesses and people's lives.
