Following Typhoon Yagi's impact, retailers in Vietnam pledged to stabilize prices and maintain an adequate food supply. The Hanoi People's Committee issued a flooding warning, leading to a brief scarcity of fresh food and vegetables in supermarkets. Kim Tuoi reported empty fresh food counters at WinMart+ and Fujimart on September 10. The situation improved quickly as supermarkets replenished their stocks.
Central Retail Vietnam prepared to ensure a stable goods supply, doubling the quantity of fruit and vegetables shipped from Dalat. Nguyen Thi Bich Van noted that despite challenges in some farming areas, efforts were underway to meet customer demand, including increasing imports of frozen goods.
Olivier Langlet of Central Retail Vietnam mentioned coordination with local authorities to deliver relief supplies in affected areas. WinMart and WinMart+ responded to the high demand for fresh foods by sourcing nearly 100 tonnes of produce daily from WinEco farms. They emphasized maintaining stable prices and discouraged stockpiling.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade reported that essential consumer products remained available, with slight price increases in green vegetables. Bui Nguyen Anh Tuan highlighted ongoing efforts to support affected areas. AEON Vietnam, preparing for the typhoon, ensured a stable supply of essential goods by diversifying suppliers and increasing storage capacity, aiming to keep supplies stable and prices reasonable.
