The programme aims to ensure balanced supply-demand of goods, stabilise the market and meet the needs for essential goods in the storm season, holidays, the last month of 2022, the solar and lunar new year festivals and times of unpredicted diseases.
Under the programme, the city will help participating production and business establishments gain access to preferential capital so that they can make plans on goods supply.
Besides, there will be more commodities subject to the programme in connection with the drive of “Vietnamese prioritises the use of Vietnamese goods,” hence curbing price hikes, controlling inflation and stimulating production and trading activities.
Commodities subject to the price stabilisation programme comprise staple foods (rice, noodles, meat, seafood, eggs..), processed food, sugar, cooking oil, condiments (fish sauce, salt..), milk (liquid and powder milk), confectionaries, wines, beers and other beverages, along with goods used in the prevention and control of natural disasters and diseases.
The programme also encourages enterprises to increase investment in developing and diversifying distribution networks so that goods can be delivered to consumers quickly,
Production and trading establishments participating in the programme will be given support in the form of facilities, preferential capital, and priority in selling goods to schools, hospitals and shops in the city.
The municipal People’s Committee also asked participating businesses to promote online sales. Hanoi will enhance linkages with other localities to secure more goods supply to meet demands in the city.
The plan said the municipal People’s Committee and relevant departments and agencies will make forecast on the market and prices of agricultural products on a monthly basis or food crops.
The plan will be implemented from now to the end of May 2023.
