The distribution system for commodities under the prize stabilization program has also been organized by many forms, creating favorable conditions for the local people to get access to this program.

Also according to Mr.Cu, as of mid-July, 2011, the whole province has 83 outlets under the prize stabilization program, mostly in Tan Uyen, Ben Cat districts and Di An town. In addition to supermarkets, commodities under the price stabilization program have also been bought in the rural regions and industrial parks of the province.

Whilst, Binh Duong Book-Educational Equipment Joint Stock Co. has been responsible for supplying textbooks, notebooks, learning tools at prices 10 percent lower than prevailing market rates.

 Boosting dissemination, monitoring

 According to Mr.Cu, relevant agencies and units need to boost dissemination of information about the prize stabilization program via mass media, creating favorable conditions for the local people to get access to price-stabilized goods…

 The local functional agencies will also strength monitoring over the trading of price-stabilized goods; make market inspections on price and commodities, especially price-stabilized ones to avoid the speculation and hoarding of goods for price increase.... This is also one of the main tasks provincial People’s Committee has asked for relevant agencies to realize in the second half of the year…
