But now, she begins to care about their origin and quality. She added: “Domestic commodities have recently had a lot of improvements in terms of design, quality with reasonable price, so I have given priority to purchasing domestic household goods, ranging from washing powder, washing-up water to footwear, ready-made clothes…”.
In addition to buying commodities at traditional markets, residents in Dau Tieng have felt highly enthusiastic with the programs of “Bringing Vietnamese goods to rural areas”. Many locals have liked Vietnamese goods very much because of having good quality, beautiful design and reasonable price.

Nguyen Hoang Ngan, Chairman of Thanh Tuyen commune’s Fatherland Front Committee (FFC) said that under the “Vietnamese people give priority to using Vietnamese goods” campaign, members of the local FFC over the past time had monthly meetings with heads of hamlets to raise the effectiveness of propagandizing and mobilizing locals to support Vietnamese goods. Currently, locals are aware of selecting and buying suitable commodities. Vietnamese goods meet the demand, so they receive priority for shopping from locals. The above-mentioned effective way will continue being maintained and developed by the commune in the coming time.
