Tran Trung Kien, Vo So platform director, said: “Following the direction of the HCM City Department of Industry and Trade, we aim to optimize the selling price and shipping costs for consumers. Vo So is committed to keeping the selling price lower than the market price but still ensuring the best product quality to serve all people.”
