A parliamentary committee's recommendations have breathed life into Tangier's vegetable and fruit wholesale market, leading to over 12,250 tons of produce being supplied in the first 20 days of Ramadan. The market has been instrumental in preventing shortages in local markets, offering a diverse range of products including tomatoes, onions, potatoes, carrots, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, oranges, apples, bananas, and more. This initiative has aimed to combat the black market and unregulated vendors, ensuring fair pricing and market stability.
In the past week, local Tangier authorities have launched a campaign to enforce these recommendations, regulating commercial markets, mandating daily vegetable purchases from the wholesale market, and cracking down on unauthorized vendors. This initiative is part of a broader effort to control the price of agricultural products and prevent speculation, addressing issues of access and affordability in the market.
