Vendors not only offer cheap prices but also guarantee the quality of fresh, delicious, and juicy fruit.
Ms. Ho Thi Ly, a sidewalk vendor on Ho Tung Mau Street (Cau Giay District, Hanoi) said: “ Since the beginning of this year, there has never been a time when watermelon prices have “collapsed” like now. Ripe watermelons with dark green skin, full and juicy are only priced at 10,000 VND/kg, while slightly worse-looking watermelons are priced at 8,000 VND/kg.
The weather has been hot these past few days, so the demand for watermelon has increased sharply. Many people come here to cool off, make smoothies or juices, which helps me sell very well. With 100kg of watermelon, I can sell it from morning to night and it will be sold out .”
Also selling watermelons on the sidewalk of Minh Khai market (Nam Tu Liem district, Hanoi), Mr. Duc Thuan said: “ My watermelons are imported from container trucks from the Western provinces, so the quality of the watermelons is very guaranteed. Consumers can buy the whole fruit, if it is not delicious, they can return it. The retail price is 8,000 VND/kg, but if customers buy a combo of 10kg or more, I sell the wholesale price at only 6,000 VND/kg .”
When asked why the price is so "super cheap", Mr. Thuan said that sellers like him do not have to pay for premises, the source of imported goods is abundant and available, the importer is ready to exchange or return, and the depreciation cost is compensated to help reduce the cost.
Watermelon is now not only sold on sidewalks but also appears everywhere on social networks, helping consumers easily buy the product at preferential prices. Advertising posts about fresh, cheap watermelon are constantly shared, accompanied by attractive images, attracting the attention of many people.

To enhance the flavor, I sometimes blend watermelon with yogurt or condensed milk to make a smoothie. In addition, watermelon salad mixed with cucumber, tomato, and coriander also creates a refreshing dinner ,” Ms. Ha said.
