Recent years have seen positive changes to the face of Hoa Vang District in Da Nang, and the local authorities are currently making an appeal for even more public investment into the construction of new markets in the district.

Currently, Da Nang has over 20 markets, with the Tuy Loan and Mieu Bong markets in Hoa Vang District’s Hoa Phong and Hoa Phuoc communes respectively being the largest.

The over 10 billion VND Moi Ba Xa Market in Hoa Phuoc Commune has been operating since the start of this year, with 50% of its cost contributed by traders at the market.  Encouragingly, the newly-opened market is usually crowded with hundreds of traders and shoppers.

The Chairman of the Hoa Phuoc Commune People’s Committee, Mr Le Dinh Ca, remarked that the construction of the Moi Ba Xa Market has not only helped to promote the selling and buying activities, but has also helped the commune to upgrade its rural areas and bolster the development of the district’s trading and services sector.

The trading activities at the Tuy Loan Market have also been promoted extensively over recent years.  The venue features several hundred permanent stalls for local traders, and provides a wide range of goods, especially locally-made products.

The district authorities are now focussing on constructing new markets and upgrading seriously deteriorated ones in its communes in a bid to satisfy the increasing demand for trading activities, and narrow the development gap between rural and urban communities.

The construction of the 25 billion VND Le Trach Market in Hoa Tien Commune is now progressing well.  The market will have 300 stalls and is expected to be put into use in the next few months.

Importance will be attached to developing professional market management models, and encouraging traders at local markets to guarantee civilised trading activities, and ensure food safety, hygiene, and the quality of the products on sale.
