Nguyen, 55, the owner of a souvenir shop on Le Loi Street, fixed up his store after the barriers for the construction of the Ben Thanh Station of the metro line No.1 were taken down a few months ago. During this year's Lunar New Year holiday, he put imported goods in front of the store's door and decorated it with signs to attract customers. Nguyen said that his family's famous souvenir shop, which had been open for more than 10 years, had to switch to selling coffee because business was slow when the metro construction site was being built and after the pandemic struck two years ago. In early 2022, Covid-19 receded and the construction barricades were taken down one by one.

Livestock firms will also have to compete with China again after its reopening, Photo: Le Toan In the first days of the new year, many husbandry companies revealed that 2022 business results were deeply affected by losses. “We earned no profit despite working hard the entire year. The husbandry sector has suffered from deep losses, while revenues and meagre profits in the animal feed sector cannot make up for it,” said a representative of Japfa Comfeed Vietnam. He further explained that cheap selling prices, high costs of importing animal feed material, and African swine fever (ASF) have blown profits away. “These issues have forced most farms to scale down their size. Demand for animal feed and bioproducts dropped sharply, and capacity of sector production dipped. Meanwhile, the more breeding we carried out, the more losses were thrust upon us,” he added. Being the leading player in the industry, business results for C.P. Vietnam in 2022 were seemingly less gloomy than … [Read more...] about Husbandry groups tackle profit dips
