HUBS FOR FRESH PRODUCE

When most people are still asleep in the cities, the wholesale markets are busy turning night into day. The markets are a hive of activity. Vast amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables from national growers, especially those near the market, and from all over the world are shipped

to and from the markets. Whatever the season, there is no shortage here ? and everything is of top quality. Other types of food are on offer besides fruit and vegetables, so that retailers can obtain a large part of their range of fresh produce from the market
