. Great demand
At present, goods purchase in mountainous areas is still difficult due to the lack of distribution channels.
Khanh Son and Khanh Vinh are two districts having least markets in the province. On average, there’s only one market in radius of 6 – 10 kilometers.
Cao Van Chung, a resident in Khanh Nam Commune, Khanh Vinh District said, “People in remote communes like me almost buy goods in retail groceries where only daily products such as rice, salt and cooking oil are on sale. To buy clothes or shoes, we have to travel to the district market, 15 kilometers from my house. In rainy days, shopping gets harder.”
