The ministry said wholesale markets, supermarket chains and farmers' markets across the country will increase the stock of daily necessities such as grain, edible oil, meat, vegetables, fruits and aquatic products to ensure market supply during the holiday.

E-commerce platforms will also actively follow the trend of consumption upgrades, and increase the number of green, smart and healthy products and expand the supply of new and high-quality products to meet people's consumption needs.
