In hot weather, a housewife in (Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi) planned to go to the market to buy some tomatoes to cook crab noodle soup. However, she was shocked when 5 tomatoes cost 25 thousand VND.

A week ago, I bought tomatoes for 35 thousand VND/kg and thought it was too expensive. Today, the price of tomatoes has gone up to 40 thousand VND/kg. Instead of buying a kilo to eat, I only bought a few because I felt sorry for the money.

Selling all kinds of green vegetables, but for about a week, vegetable vendors at Van Chuong market (Dong Da, Hanoi) said they did not dare import tomatoes to sell because they were too expensive.

The price of tomatoes at the wholesale market is 30-35 thousand VND/kg, she buys them and sells them for 40 thousand VND/kg, but customers complain that it is expensive, pick them up and put them down without buying, customers only buy 1-2 tomatoes. Tomatoes brought home are easily bruised, crushed, and damaged, if one tomato is damaged in one kilo, she has to compensate for the loss.

Walking around some traditional markets and supermarkets in Hanoi, tomatoes are being sold for 35-45 thousand VND/kg, an increase of 25-30 thousand VND/kg compared to the beginning of the year.
