Along with green vegetables, some types of aquatic products and seafood also increased in price, from 10,000 - 20,000 VND/kg compared to normal days. Carp is 60,000 - 65,000 VND/kg, grass carp is 90,000 - 100,000 VND/kg, tiger prawn is 370,000 - 380,000 VND/kg, river shrimp is 230,000 - 250,000 VND/kg, clams are 20,000 - 25,000 VND/kg.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thao, a pork trader at Tuan Viet market, said: "Normally, people's purchasing power on the second day of Tet is not as good as on the occasion of Tet and normal days. However, I and many other traders often open their shops on this day to bring good luck at the beginning of the year."

The reason why some green vegetables, aquatic products, and seafood are in high demand is because many people choose them to change the menu for their families. Ms. Nguyen Thi Nuong in Ninh Giang town shared that during Tet, her family members were bored with many dishes such as chicken, banh chung, gio cha... so she decided to change the menu, buy fish, tiger prawns and many green vegetables to make hot pot.
