Of which, food and foodstuffs accounted for the highest proportion, at 42.46%; wood and construction materials 11.25%; gasoline and oil 11.94%; and household appliances and equipment 10.28%.

The increase in retail sales of goods was attributed to measures taken to ensure balance between goods supply and demand as well as trade promotion activities to boost consumption and export of products. The province increased the organisation of trade fairs to facilitate the sale of outstanding farm produce, OCOP (One Commune Once Product) products, and typical rural industrial products. Market fairs were also held to bring Vietnamese goods to rural and mountainous areas.
