The programme to stabilise prices of some staple goods in 2001 will be extended, said the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade.
The 2011 programme will be in effect two months longer than last year and will run from April 1, 2011-March 31, 2012.
Fourteen businesses in Ho Chi Minh City and businesses from other cities and provinces across the country will join the plan for pricing rice, meat, sugar, cooking oil, vegetables and seafood.
Also in 2011, the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee will arrange a conference to review the eight years of the programme’s implementation.
