On December 1st, several traders at Thu Duc Wholesale Market (Ho Chi Minh City) reported that vegetable supply tensions have eased, with many items priced below 10,000 VND/kg, especially during the final hours of the morning wholesale session.

Items like cucumbers, zucchinis, and cabbages are being sold in bulk. These are the primary supply for street vendors and traditional markets, offering affordable options for consumers.

According to Thu Duc Wholesale Market Management Company, the volume of vegetables arriving at the market on the night of November 30th to December 1st reached 1,548 tons, an increase of 34 tons compared to the previous day.

Certain vegetables at the wholesale market are becoming more affordable.

Products like zucchinis, cucumbers, bitter melons, and cilantro are abundant, leading to slower sales and price reductions of 1,000 to 10,000 VND/kg compared to the previous day.

Specifically, cucumbers are now 17,000 VND/kg, zucchinis 14,000 VND/kg, bitter melons 25,000 VND/kg, and cilantro 60,000 VND/kg. However, some items have seen significant increases, such as bird’s eye chilies at 95,000 VND/kg, up 20,000 VND/kg, and bottle gourds at 28,000 VND/kg.

The fruit section also features many items under 20,000 VND/kg, including: King oranges at 8,000 VND/kg, papayas at 14,000 VND/kg, Hue longans at 17,000 VND/kg, and watermelons at 16,000–17,000 VND/kg.

Supermarket vegetables are plentiful with stable prices.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Cuong, Director of My Thanh Agricultural Cooperative (Tay Ninh), specializing in VietGap vegetables for supermarkets, confirmed that prices for many vegetables have cooled, with some dropping by half compared to peak rates.

Cucumbers saw the sharpest decline, with wholesale prices now at 15,000–18,000 VND/kg due to ample supply from regions unaffected by adverse weather.

However, most vegetables still exceed 20,000 VND/kg, higher than usual, and are expected to gradually decrease until Tet as weather improves and supply increases.

Observations at traditional markets show that vegetables are no longer in short supply. Many areas sell only in the morning, yet stocks remain plentiful by midday as buyers purchase in moderation. Consequently, prices are anticipated to continue falling in the coming period.
