Families turn to supermarkets for safe food

Vietnamese consumers are turning to supermarkets, online shopping, or directly buying produce from farms to avoid the current health scares raised by recent food adulteration scandals. Retail market are becoming less popular following food health scandals Retail markets losing consumers Data released in February reveals that consumers are turning their back on fresh retail markets, while supermarkets are maintaining their rising turnover by 15-25% per year. Supermarkets outstrip retail markets and attract a great number of consumers due to advantages such as convenience, stable prices and sales promotions. Dang Thanh Nga, living on Lo Duc Street, Hanoi, began to shop at supermarkets for similar reasons: "Food prices at retail markets are equal or even higher than in supermarkets. Also, the quality of the food at small markets isn't guaranteed. I often buy a great deal of food to keep in fridge, so supermarket is my best choice." Nguyen Thanh Tam, from Bach Mai Street said she often travels to farms in the Hanoi surburb of Thanh Tri. She and her family will go for a picnic at weekend, and at the same time, shop for food at nearby farms. Other households choose to plant their own vegetables. The terraces on their top floors can be used as a small garden. Families with relatives that are farmers benefit the most from their easy access to fresh produce. Online shopping counterbalances other shopping methods Online shopping sites specialising in the sale of agricultural products have become increasingly common. These sites are primarily targeting female office workers who lack the time to go shopping. The food is then delivered to their home. These websites have a variety of products including local specialities and high quality services. Community shopping is another new and increasingly popular way of shopping, in which people band together to buy particular products to benefit from 20-100% discounts. However, online shopping poses a challenge for quality standard agencies. The real quality of the products supplied by these websites has not been checked. Market management forces needs to develop effective measures to protect consumer rights.
