At the same time, prices of other types of pork have also been reduced to around VND25,500 to VND36,000 per kilogramme.
From June 6 to June 10, the company implemented a discount programme of 30 per cent to 32 per cent on type 1 pork, which recorded a sales volume of 530,000 tonnes, up by 51 per cent on an average, compared with sales on normal days.
The promotional programme will be implemented at most store chains of Vissan, Saigon Co.op, Coopfood, Vinmart, Satrafoods, Aeon Citimart, Giant, Auchan, Cocomart, Queenland mart, HQC mart and My Duc.
