Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnamese goods aredominating the domestic market in recent days, thanks to reasonable prices and improvedquality.
Tran Thu Trang, a customer from Hanoi, saidpreviously her family often bought imported confectionary, especially those fromEurope, despite high prices.
However, this year, her family changed thishabit and switched to using more made-in-Vietnam products, not because of theprices but good quality and eye-catching packaging, she added.
More locally-made products are sold at majorsupermarkets in Hanoi such as Big C, Metro, Hapro and Fivimart than in previousyears.
Besides supermarkets, convenience stores are alsoputting more Vietnamese goods on their shelves.
According to an owner of a convenience store inHanoi, her store still imports foreign products but in modest quantities,mainly wine and tobacco. Most confectionary and gift packages are made locally.
The increasing presence of Vietnamese productsin the market was contributed to the “Vietnamese people prioritise Vietnamesegoods” campaign, which was launched in 2009 nationwide to change customers’attitude toward locally made products while enhancing the competitiveness ofdomestic enterprises.-VNA
