Food prices at markets in flood-affected areas have started to rise.

VTV.vn - Food prices at flood-affected markets have risen sharply due to disrupted supply chains and transportation difficulties, adding to the hardships faced by people after the natural disaster.

After floods, food supplies are often insufficient due to damage or transportation difficulties. Consequently, prices are usually driven up, which exacerbates the already difficult situation for people in flood-affected areas who haven't yet recovered.

At Vinh Ngoc market ( Khanh Hoa province ) - an area severely damaged - operations have begun to resume. In the days following the flood, money was truly precious to the people. It's understandable that they hesitate to buy goods at higher prices than usual.

Food prices in flood-affected areas have risen sharply following the flooding.

Food prices have increased by 30-100%. Vegetables have seen the highest increase. Seafood has risen by about 60%, while pork prices have only increased slightly due to consumer concerns and low demand. According to traders, the high prices are also due to higher import costs.

Following widespread natural disasters, price increases for food items are inevitable. This is because the supply chain and production areas have also been severely impacted. Therefore, in the initial stages of recovery and resumption of operations, small traders and the public are showing empathy and understanding to overcome these challenges together.
