This is the real African economy. Unfortunately, people think that these African outdoor markets are only for the poor. I saw a study years ago that found that such markets make more money in a single day than any other sector of the African economy. Yet, we call them "the informal sector".
@sandiin68853 жыл бұрын
Absolutely you are correct! This is the informal sector of African economy where money changes hands quicker than other businesses.

I AGREE. THE PEOPLE WHO CONTROL THE MARKET SPACE, THAT CHARGE FOR THE USE OF IT, WHO GET MONEY FROM ALL THE OPERATIONS ARE MAKING A LOT OF MONEY. BUT THE POORER PARTICIPANTS ARE NOT. THEY SIT IN THE HOT SUN, DIRT AND DUST ALL DAY FOR A PITTANCE. OVER 100,000 POOR GIRLS AND WOMEN FROM THE NORTH SLAVE AWAY AS 'HEAD PORTERS' FOR ALMOST NOTHING AND SLEEP IN THE STREET OR PILED INTO HOVELS, MAKING SOMEONE ELSE MONEY FROM THERE MISERY. AND IT IS THE SAME IN EVERY COUNTRY THAT HAS ORGANIC MARKET PLACES. MANY RICH PEOPLE WORLDWIDE ARE RICH BECAUSE OF INCOME FROM THE WORST SLUMS ON EARTH. NEW YORFK CITY TOO.

It’s a day to day struggle for the market vendors to make ends meet. However, at least the food is fresh without chemicals interfering with the quality of the produce. It’s good to see your family supporting the local market vendors by buying their produce. However, the government must invest more of its funds on infrastructure and improving the environment so that people can trade in a clean and safe environment, that is free from toxic waste.
