At Dong Da market (Hai Chau district), the price of green vegetables such as sweet potato leaves, water spinach, and Malabar spinach ranges from 10,000 to 15,000 VND/bunch; green mustard (spicy mustard) ranges from 13,000 to 18,000 VND/bunch..., especially spices have increased sharply compared to the time before the rain such as perilla leaves from 50,000 to 70,000 VND (depending on the time), now increased to 150,000 VND/kg. This is the vegetable with the highest price increase.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Oanh, a trader at Dong Da market, who specializes in selling green vegetables, tubers, and fruits, shared: “Whether the price increases sharply or not depends on the weather today and the coming days. The import price in the past few days has not been high, so sales are still stable. Only the gardener cannot grow perilla in this weather, so the price is high, selling for 15,000 VND/tael but there is no stock.”

According to Mr. Le Van Ly, Head of Tan An Market Management Board (Thanh Khe District), the price of vegetables and tubers has been increasing by 5-7% in recent days (depending on the type). The selling price at the market today for mustard greens is 13,000 VND/bunch, water spinach, Malabar spinach, sweet potato leaves... 10,000 VND/bunch; tubers of all kinds are about 20,000 VND/kg.

“Because the tubers are imported from Da Lat, they are not affected. Vegetables can be sourced from neighboring Quang Nam or directly from Da Nang, so heavy rain can damage them and prices will be high. Today, it is raining, so traders also import less goods, people take advantage of the break to go shopping, so the goods run out early,” Mr. Ly informed.
