Gasoline prices hit the highest level in history, prices also increased rapidly

On May 11, the Inter-Ministry of Industry, Trade and Finance decided to increase the price of gasoline by 1,550 VND / liter, bringing the price of RON 95 gasoline to nearly 30,000 VND / liter. Specifically, the price of RON 95 gasoline is 29,980 VND/liter, which is also the highest price ever.

Under the pressure of historical high gasoline prices, many essential commodities also increased rapidly. From the beginning of the year until now, the price of vegetable cooking oil has been adjusted from 32,000 VND to 48,000 VND/liter. The current retail price of cooking oil is up to 48,000 to 55,000 VND/liter. Even, the cooking oil lines of medium and high-end products such as brown rice oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, etc. have prices up to 70,000 – 85,000 VND/liter.

Cooking oil prices hit a record

Besides cooking oil, many items such as sugar, rice, eggs, vegetables, etc. also increased in price by 10-20%. Surveyed at some markets, the price of rice increased from 3,000 to 5,000 VND/kg, the price of sugar increased by about 3,000 VND/kg, the price of black beans increased by about 5,000 VND/kg, etc.

According to Ms. Hanh, a small trader at Nghia Tan market (Cau Giay) said that due to the current increase in petrol prices, transportation costs have also increased accordingly. Essential commodities are constantly fluctuating.

“Most of the essential items have increased in price, depending on the item increasing more or less. In which, cooking oil is the highest increase, many shoppers also wonder why the price is so high, but know how, Now the price is like that”, Hanh said boredly.

Mr. Dat, an owner of a fruit shop in Thanh Xuan also said that the shipping price is so high that it must be applied to the selling price, otherwise the sale is not profitable. “In the past, transporting fruit from Son La to Hanoi only cost about 50,000 – 60,000 VND, but now the price of gasoline has increased to more than 100,000 for a 10kg box.

I’m a small trader, the shipping price is high, I have to apply it to the selling price if I don’t consider it to be no longer profitable,” Dat shared.

“Just got to the market and ran out of money”

A series of commodity price increases directly affect people’s lives. Every time they go to the market, the housewives do not fall into the boredom of “having run out of money when they go to the market”.

Ms. Nhung (40 years old, Hanoi) has to take care of her family of 5. She often has to “measure and measure” carefully to tighten family expenses.

People “tighten their belts” to save money

“Each time you go to the market, you have to consider what to buy, how much to spend each day, what to buy to save the most. The price of goods increases, sometimes taking 500,000 thousand to go to the market. Before, the whole family spent about 7-8 million / month, now we also have to increase 1-2 million more money to go to the market to make sure,” Nhung said.

Kim Ngan (20 years old) who is currently a student at a university in Hanoi also faces many difficulties when the cost of daily living increases dramatically. “I’m a student with a part-time job. Before riding a motorbike for a week, I filled up the fuel tank with about 50,000 – 60,000 VND, now it costs nearly 100,000 VND. Then eating a dusty meal or a bowl of pho also adds a few thousand. Now I’m thinking of taking a bus or high-speed train to save money, but it’s not hard to afford,” Ngan lamented.

People’s lives are struggling because many items increase in price

Ms. Tra My (27 years old, Hanoi) after the Covid-19 epidemic, her work was also affected. Wages have been cut, but the cost of living has continued to rise. Her family fell into a difficult situation. “I’m raising a child, just now my salary has been cut again, life is already difficult. Now the cost of living has increased again, before the gas tank was about 300,000 VND, now it is nearly 500,000 VND and all kinds of things. Every month, I have to squeeze every penny to cover living expenses for the whole family, “said Ms. My.

Escalating prices directly affect people’s lives, especially low-income workers. People are forced to “tighten their belts”, save money to be able to maintain their lives.
