The stationery market is on the go again as a new academic season is just one month away, with a range of supplies on offer.

Since early May, bookstores and supermarkets have stocked up textbooks, reference materials, and stationery of various kinds.

The demand soared nearly 50 percent in July from a month earlier, and is forecast to climb up throughout the month of August, said a representative from Fahasa publishing company.

Such popular made-in-Vietnam brands as Hong Ha, Hai Tien, Thien Long and Ben Nghe are selling well as they are made environmentally friendly.

Between May 10 and August 31, a chain of Phuong Nam bookstores nationwide will offer a 10 percent discount for all textbooks and notebooks.

It also cuts prices of best-seller books and study tools by 20-50 percent.

Fahasa, in a similar move, is selling essential items at 10-17 percent off.
