(HBO) – The Lunar New Year (Tet) festival is nearing, and it is also the time when essential goods for Tet are in great demand. Given this, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has ordered relevant agencies to augment price management, governance, and stabilisation efforts before, during, and after the 2023 Tet holiday.
To meet high demand during Tet, supermarkets and trade centres in Hoa Binh city
have increased the supply of essential goods.
The provincial Department of Industry and Trade
said to meet growing demand for essential goods during Tet, it has requested
local trading businesses to boost stockpiling to ensure sufficient supply of
quality products with reasonable prices.
Tran Trung Hieu, head of the department’s trade
management division, said the office has devised a loan provision plan to help
businesses stockpile essential goods to stabilise the market before, during,
and after Tet. It has also called on enterprises to expand their distribution
networks to residential areas, industrial parks, and remote areas to improve
local residents’ access to goods with stable prices.
Besides, to guarantee farm produce and food
supply, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has coordinated
with district-level authorities and sectors to keep a close watch on the
production, weather, and disease situations; give instructions on farming and
harvesting activities; and step up food safety inspection at production
workshops, business establishments, and households.
Meanwhile, to ensure sufficient goods supply,
the provincial People’s Committee has ordered relevant sectors and
district-level administrations to increase management and examination of the
compliance to legal regulations on prices, taxes, fees, and charges at local
organisations, enterprises, and business households, especially those producing
and trading essential goods and services, and input materials.
It has also demanded authorities to grasp
changes in supply, demand, and prices, particularly in populous areas, to
present any attempt abusing surging demand in the year-end period and Tet to
unreasonably hike prices. Agencies and localities have also been asked to
create conditions for organisations, enterprises, and business households to
hold trade promotion and consumption stimulation programmes; facilitate the
flow of goods; and proactively propose price stabilisation measures when
necessary to maintain market stability./.
