Ms. Nguyen Thu Lan (35 years old), a vegetable vendor at Nghia Tan market, said that food prices started to increase on September 8, especially for green vegetables. The reason for the increase in vegetable prices is that storms have made harvesting difficult, and flooding in suburban districts has affected the vegetable supply of vendors.
" Since a few days ago when the storm news came, vegetable prices have been on the rise. The rain and floods have affected the supply. If the rain and floods continue like this, the prices will likely increase even more. With widespread flooding like this, I'm afraid that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we won't be able to import goods to sell ," Ms. Lan shared.
Surveying at Trieu Khuc market (Thanh Tri, Hanoi), vegetables are still displayed but not as diverse as usual, there are not many leafy vegetables, mainly root vegetables and fruits. However, the prices of these vegetables have also increased by 10,000 - 15,000 VND/kg. Typically, cucumbers are 55,000 VND/kg, white radishes are 35,000 VND/kg, cabbages are 30,000 VND/kg, potatoes are 40,000 VND/kg, squash is 35,000 VND/kg...

Although vegetable prices have increased, many people who go to the market say they do not pay lower prices because they know that after storm No. 3, vegetable growers in provinces and cities also suffered heavy losses, with many areas of crops swept away and crushed by the storm. "This price is the same everywhere, and it's the same everywhere else," said a shopper.
