In particular, every year, Co.opmart implements the "Proud of Vietnamese Goods" Promotional Month program. The sales of the Co.opmart system during this period always achieved high growth. Ms. La Ngoc Truong, Director of Co.opmart Can Tho supermarket, said that Vietnamese goods at the supermarket reached over 90%, spanning most product lines with a variety of products from popular to high-end, increasingly receiving support from consumers.
Not only the Co.opmart supermarket system but also foreign supermarkets such as MM Mega Market, LOTTE Mart, GO!, Big C... also said that Vietnamese goods are always the priority criteria of enterprises in choosing to do business. In particular, the units always support local specialty products. The proportion of Vietnamese goods accounts for 80-90% on supermarket shelves.
