In the days leading up to Tet, An Ninh market (Quang Trung ward, Hai Duong city) is deserted with few passersby and buyers. Although the products are diverse and complete, the number of customers is still not much.
According to some traders here, in recent years, the trading scene is no longer as bustling as before, the number of buyers has decreased. To survive, traders have had to change the way they sell and the form of business.
Similarly, the market on Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street (Ngoc Chau Ward, Hai Duong City) is also deserted. Even though it is Tet, the number of shoppers at the market is quite deserted and sparse.
Ms. Tran Thi Hoa - a vegetable seller - said: "I grow clean vegetables and then sell them. I hope people will buy clean vegetables, so I harvest a lot. However, all morning there were only about 10 buyers."
Meanwhile, at GO! supermarket (Hai Duong city), many people came to shop. Customers gathered at the candy, food and alcohol counters...
Filling two carts with food, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu (Thach Khoi Ward, Hai Duong City) shared that her family's shopping habits have changed since the supermarket opened. This year, the supermarket has offered big discounts, a wide variety of goods, and more reasonable prices, so Ms. Thu's family prioritizes shopping for Tet at the supermarket.
Most customers appreciate the convenience and many promotional programs of supermarkets during this Tet holiday. This year, retail systems have simultaneously launched promotional programs to attract customers.
In 2025, large enterprises and distributors in the province have prepared goods with a total value of 1,450 billion VND. The goods serving the traditional consumption needs of people during Tet are mainly food, foodstuff, confectionery, wine, beer, soft drinks, cooking oil, garments, shoes, fuel, etc.
The preparation of diverse and abundant sources of goods by businesses and distributors in the province will meet shopping needs and provide more choices for Hai Duong people during the Lunar New Year.
