Accordingly, the department directed its subordinate Market Management Teams, based on the actual situation of the management area, to proactively develop plans, implement professional measures, strengthen inspection and control of goods on retail channels, unofficial agents, especially e-commerce trading floors and social networking sites; at goods gathering areas, wholesale markets, routes with bustling trading activities and production and business establishments, focusing on essential goods serving people's lives, especially dairy products, modern medicines, health protection foods, etc. In particular, the mobile Market Management Team proactively coordinated with the police force and related units to inspect and control traffic, especially on main routes such as National Highway 39, National Highway 5, and routes leading to the province's gateways. Through inspection, the Market Management Force discovered and handled many serious violations.

On June 11, 2025, the inspection team of the Mobile Market Management Team coordinated with Team 5 of the Economic Police Department and the Long Hung Commune Police (Van Giang) to search the hiding place of the warehouse of the Good Health Company Limited Branch in Nhu Phuong Thuong Village, Long Hung Commune. Through the inspection, it was discovered that in the warehouse there were 82,264 nutritional food products along with raw materials, labels, packaging, and machinery used for food production. The company representative could not provide invoices or documents related to the raw materials, labels, packaging, etc. stored in the warehouse; some goods did not provide a self-declared quality copy. The inspection team temporarily detained and sealed all exhibits and coordinated with the Food Safety and Hygiene Sub-Department to take samples for quality testing. The case is currently being further verified and worked on by the Mobile Market Management Team.

According to the summary, during the peak period of market inspection and control from May 26 to June 15, 2025, the Market Management force inspected 15 cases, handled 13 administrative violations, transferred 1 case for investigation, and is continuing to investigate 1 case...

Along with promoting inspection work, the provincial Market Management Department also focuses on propaganda and dissemination of laws and the level of harm of trading in counterfeit and fake goods so that people, businesses and business establishments can grasp and implement.

Ms. Ngo Thi Ngoc Anh, manager of Thinh Quynh Milk World store, Tran Cao town (Phu Cu) shared: Every year, I participate in training and propaganda classes on food hygiene and safety, and legal business. Every time the authorities come to inspect the store, I am guided by the experts in the group on how to identify and distinguish between genuine and fake goods. Thanks to that, the store focuses on choosing reputable suppliers.

Although the Market Management Force and the provincial authorities have increased inspection, detection and handling of many cases, with the development of online business activities, most of them are still unsatisfactory.   Online customers confirm orders directly or via private messages. Goods can be left at their residence or in a warehouse elsewhere. Transactions are mainly delivered to customers through delivery companies, so it is difficult to identify the subject or location for inspection.

To tighten market management and protect consumer rights, in the coming time, the Market Management Department will continue to closely follow the directives of superiors to direct subordinate Market Management teams to further promote local management work;   Strengthen propaganda work, encourage Vietnamese people to prioritize using Vietnamese products...
