WEBVTT 00:00:03.234 --> 00:00:07.674 After the 2026 Lunar New Year, when the spring atmosphere is still spread throughout the capital, 00:00:07.994 --> 00:00:11.074 reporters' records at many traditional markets in Hanoi show that, 00:00:11.454 --> 00:00:13.711 The fruit market still maintains its excitement, especially in seasonal 00:00:13.711 --> 00:00:16.194 items, the demand for pilgrimage at the beginning of the year. 00:00:16.594 --> 00:00:20.101 At some people's markets, from early morning, fruit stalls have displayed all 00:00:20.101 --> 00:00:21.854 kinds of fruits with eye-catching colors. 00:00:22.034 --> 00:00:24.226 oranges, grapefruits, bananas, apples, grapes. Small traders continuously pack 00:00:24.226 --> 00:00:27.634 goods for retail buyers and large quantity buyers to display on the offering tray. 00:00:27.634 --> 00:00:31.334 Tri Nguyen Thi Hien, a small trader at a traditional market in Hanoi, said, 00:00:31.674 --> 00:00:34.674 compared to the time near Tet, the prices of many types of fruits have decreased significantly. 00:00:34.898 --> 00:00:37.638 Currently, the price of fruits is slightly lower than Tet. 00:00:38.218 --> 00:00:42.638 For example, this "thanh nong", Tet I sell for 80-90 thousand, now it's only 60-70 thousand. 00:00:43.538 --> 00:00:47.158 Like strawberries, cheap strawberries, there are only 30-35 thousand boxes. 00:00:47.598 --> 00:00:53.698 During Tet, I sold 50-60, mangoes for Tet 80, now only 65-60. 00:00:53.818 --> 00:00:56.398 But a cheap item with a discount is 10-15 thousand. 00:00:56.798 --> 00:00:59.378 As for Japanese fruits, it's still the same, compared to Tet, it's equal. 00:00:59.669 --> 00:01:02.178 According to small traders, although Tet peak season has passed, the number of 00:01:02.178 --> 00:01:04.109 customers has not decreased as deeply as in previous years. 00:01:04.469 --> 00:01:07.191 The main reason is that after Tet, people still have a need to buy fruits 00:01:07.191 --> 00:01:09.369 to go to pagodas and temples at the beginning of the year. 00:01:09.924 --> 00:01:15.245 Because at the beginning of the year, people still buy a lot, but today this 00:01:15.245 --> 00:01:18.084 guy's house has about 1 ton of goods. 00:01:18.884 --> 00:01:21.364 And now there are only 8 quintals left. 00:01:21.744 --> 00:01:25.344 At the beginning of the new spring, people's companies start working after a Tet holiday. 00:01:25.904 --> 00:01:29.941 It's already the most crowded today, but from here until it decreases, it's 00:01:29.941 --> 00:01:31.184 starting to be slow. 00:01:32.024 --> 00:01:35.022 When it decreases, it starts to get crowded again because people say that 00:01:35.022 --> 00:01:38.944 Tet all year round is not as good as the number of days and months reduced separately. 00:01:38.944 --> 00:01:41.384 So people will burn incense for many separate days and months. 00:01:41.621 --> 00:01:45.659 I see that Tet is over, but the fruit stalls and flower stalls 00:01:45.659 --> 00:01:46.901 are still very lively. 00:01:47.161 --> 00:01:52.481 People buy a lot, diverse and new goods, a lot of new goods right away. 00:01:53.281 --> 00:01:57.401 So I am also very satisfied when choosing goods to burn incense. 00:01:58.101 --> 00:02:00.601 Compared to before Tet, fruits also decreased slightly. 00:02:00.601 --> 00:02:06.514 She goes to the market less often, but she still buys fruits and flowers 00:02:06.514 --> 00:02:07.781 to burn incense. 00:02:08.201 --> 00:02:10.961 Or a little more fruit to eat up the car. 00:02:10.961 --> 00:02:18.961 Still some fruits such as oranges, mangoes or watermelons or cantaloupe. 00:02:19.541 --> 00:02:24.441 That is, the fruits have a little color or are red apples to make it look bright. 00:02:25.021 --> 00:02:27.561 Call something a warm and cool feast for the new year. 00:02:27.615 --> 00:02:31.350 It can be seen that, although it has passed the peak shopping season for the 00:02:31.350 --> 00:02:34.089 2026 Lunar New Year, the consumption demand of the capital's people, 00:02:34.089 --> 00:02:37.077 especially for items serving spiritual needs at the beginning of the year, 00:02:37.077 --> 00:02:40.315 still contributes to maintaining the pace of the fruit market in traditional markets.
