At large supermarkets, purchasing power is still going on normally, with no signs of hoarding or buying goods. A representative of Central Retail said that because they have experience with previous storms and floods, the unit will ensure enough essential food sources at the most stable prices, helping people feel secure against storms and not worry about running out of goods.
MM Mega Market Vietnam has also urgently deployed flood and storm prevention plans in the entire system in the North and North Central regions - which are forecast to be directly affected.
With the goal of not leaving people short of goods during the storm, this retail system has proactively increased the reserve of essential goods to about 30-50% compared to normal. The groups of goods that are enhanced include food (meat, fish, eggs), drinking water, personal hygiene products, etc.
For the vegetable and fruit group, the unit has worked with suppliers to increase the quantity by 1.5 times compared to normal days. The group of dry foods and thunderstorms is enough to meet the sudden increase of 2.5 times, ready to meet the increased demand in the period before and after the storm.
In addition to increasing supply, MM Mega Market centers also synchronously deploy measures to ensure the safety of facilities such as covering, rearranging goods, reinforcing roofs, checking infrastructure, power systems, generators and fuel reserves in case of power outages.
Up to now, all major retail systems in the Wipha affected area are operating normally. Enterprises continue to closely monitor the weather situation, closely coordinate with local authorities and be ready to adjust operating plans according to actual developments.
In response to the complicated developments of storm No. 3, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has also issued an urgent document, requesting departments, branches and localities to proactively deploy response measures to ensure the safety of people, especially in coastal areas and areas at high risk of flooding.
