Following heavy rainfall and flooding, vegetable prices have begun to decline due to increased supply, particularly for leafy greens. In Hanoi, prices for various vegetables have dropped by 20-30% compared to their peak in November. Prices now stand at VND 12,000-17,000 per radish, VND 20,000 per cauliflower, VND 17,000 per kilogram of cabbage, and VND 10,000-12,000 per bunch for varieties like mustard greens, chrysanthemum greens, and sweet greens. Tomatoes, however, remain high at VND 60,000-70,000 per kilogram.
Many vendors report that while prices have significantly decreased, they have not yet returned to pre-storm levels, as supply has only partially recovered.
Additionally, vegetable prices are unlikely to drop sharply in the short term, as supply has not fully rebounded. Traders are still collecting large quantities to distribute to central provinces, limiting local availability.
According to the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection, this year’s floods and storms have severely impacted agriculture. The department has called on associations and businesses in the crop production and plant protection sector to support affected areas.
In response, several companies have donated seeds and supplies. The department will continue to provide timely updates to local authorities to ensure proactive production, especially to secure food supplies for the upcoming Lunar New Year.
This year, floods and storms have caused significant damage to agriculture. In October and November 2025 alone, the total affected area reached 113,925 hectares, including 14,700 hectares of rice, 39,663 hectares of vegetables, and 59,000 hectares of industrial and perennial crops. Typhoon No. 13 caused damage to approximately 55,300 hectares, while the late November floods affected around 58,600 hectares.
The Director of the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection stated that the department will continue to provide timely updates to local authorities to ensure proactive production, particularly to secure food supplies for the Lunar New Year.
The department will also closely monitor production conditions and implement recovery measures, especially in the South Central region where irrigation systems have sustained heavy damage. They will consolidate local demand for seeds and supplies to further support the restoration of winter and spring crop production for 2025-2026.
