Masan Consumers Joint Stock Company and the Vietnam Cuisine Culture Association have organised a charity programme, Tet tre em (Children''s Lunar New Year).
A new Tet (Lunar New Year) Festival 2020 will be organised in HCM City from January 3 to January 5 next year to honor Viet Nam’s cultural and culinary values.
Industry and trade departments in Ha Noi and HCM City are planning to spend VND28.5 trillion and VND18.4 billion, respectively, to prepare goods for next year’s Tet festival.
The domestic market is forecast to bear an oversupply of pork, cattle and poultry meats for the Tet festival in 2018, while it may lack vegetables in some places if the weather is cold and unusually frosty.
Imported flowers have become a favourite of a large number of consumers for the Lunar New Year (Tet) Festival, despite their higher prices compared with that of locally produced flowers.
The supply of essential goods for the Tet festival is expected to be
enough for the local market, though there might be shortages in rural
and remote areas, experts said.
January''s consumer price index (CPI) for Ha Noi and HCM City surged
slightly due to price increases in the run up to the Lunar New Year
(Tet) Festival.
