Food and meat price is forecast not to change sharply by late October. Consumer price index by October in 2 large cities is likely to reduce compared to last month, which is considered positive factor contributing to keeping price of meat and food. However, if the suggestion of petrol price increase is approved, it will make retail price of meat and food by November up due to an increase of shipment cost and consumer trend by late months.

Main movements and trends:

- Pork amount at Hoc Mon market reduces to 249 tons/day
