Due to the impact of prolonged heavy rain causing landslides and cutting off many roads in Da Lat and Lam Dong province, the transportation of goods, especially vegetables from the Da Lat Platform of the MM Mega Market supermarket system, is facing many limitations. In addition, the Nha Trang - Quy Nhon - Phu Yen traffic routes are also heavily affected by floods and inundation at many key locations, making it difficult to connect and circulate goods.
Currently, freight trains from Da Lat Platform to the Southern region are still maintained normally. Towards the Central and Northern regions alone, more than 10 trips of MM Mega Market including dried, frozen and fresh goods are waiting for authorities to guide and coordinate traffic when the water recedes. This unit affirmed to strictly comply with the instructions to ensure the safety of people and vehicles.
To stabilize supply, in the North, MM Mega Market maintains the quantity of goods through a central warehouse in Bac Ninh and a regional supplier system. In the South, goods are still abundant and a shortage has not been recorded. The company continues to coordinate with reputable suppliers to promptly distribute goods to the centers, minimizing interruptions.
Regarding the operating situation in the Central region, MM Mega Market Nha Trang is being heavily affected by the major flood. The system's priority is to protect assets, facilities and ensure safety for employees. In Quy Nhon, although also affected by floods, the center still maintains normal operations and is closely monitored for timely response.
This retail system is committed to keeping the best price for green vegetables, monitoring market fluctuations to have appropriate adjustment plans.
In recent weeks, consumers have also been under pressure when vegetable prices have increased by 15-50% due to heavy rain and high tides, disrupting supply, affecting harvest and transportation. In this situation, the Saigon Co.op supermarket system has urgently worked with local suppliers to adjust transportation plans, maintain a stable source of temperate vegetables from Da Lat and tropical leafy vegetables to keep prices stable and share difficulties with people.
From now until the end of the year, Saigon Co.op will continue to support production capital, cover products for cooperatives and suppliers, aiming to stabilize the market and ensure stable supply.
From November 20 to November 26, Saigon Co.op will organize a Vegetable Festival with 100% of products meeting VietGAP - GlobalGAP standards, Tick Xanh and transparent traceability. Many products such as cabbage, Chinese lettuce, mustard, beef tomatoes, carrots... have decreased by 10- 20% compared to the market, contributing to cooling down vegetable prices.
In parallel, the Meat Festival applies a 15-20% discount on pork, beef, chicken from major suppliers, along with many alternative products such as eggs, mushrooms, fruits, seafood with a discount of up to 30% or a "buy 1 get 1" promotion.
In the context of extreme weather and strong price fluctuations, synchronous solutions by major retailers play an important role in stabilizing the market, ensuring supply and reducing spending pressure for people at the end of the year.
