For the Satra retail system (Satramart and Satrafoods), the total value of essential goods reserved for the 2 months before and after Tet Giap Thin 2024 is expected to be over 550 billion VND, an increase of 10% compared to Tet 2023.

Goods supplied to the market are strictly screened, ensuring quality and reasonable prices; there are no cases of increased prices, poor quality, or shortages of goods... In particular, the reserve of stabilized goods increased from 6% to more than 14% depending on the group. Satra expects high purchasing power in the group of fresh foods, meats, beer, soft drinks...

This year, the Satra Giap Thin 2024 Tet gift basket models are quite diverse, with prices ranging from 169,000 VND to 3 million VND/gift basket. In addition, the system also makes gift baskets according to customer requests.

According to supermarkets, the source of goods is abundantly prepared, with specialty items from all regions (North, Central, South). Preliminary statistics from large supermarkets show that domestic goods are "covering" over 90% of items...

Ms. Tran Kim Nga, Director of External Relations of MM Mega Market Vietnam, said that purchasing power at the system is increasing compared to the same period last year, but the value of goods is lower, because consumers tend to spend more economically.

A few days ago, MM Mega Market Vietnam received an order from a domestic enterprise of more than 10,000 Tet gift baskets. In addition, a number of other units also had quite large orders to give to employees, do charity work at the end of the year...
