Some stalls selling only locally-grown agricultural produce opened in Da Nang’s Hoa Cuong wholesale market last Friday. 

A wide range of items, including mushrooms, fresh fruit and vegetables, are available from these stalls, sourced from agricultural co-operatives and other suppliers across the city.

There is an increasing consumer demand for agricultural produce in the city and neighbouring localities.  The daily demand is about 200 tonnes of fruit and 400 tonnes of vegetables.  However, the city’s agricultural produce supplies can only meet 10% of the local demand, and they have not yet gained a firm foothold in the local market.
