THE Joburg Market is South Africa s major centre for the marketing of fresh produce. It is also the largest fresh produce market in Africa. It deals in fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and general groceries, most of them on sale to the public at wholesale prices. And since the produce comes straight from the suppliers, the goods are fresh. The choice is wide and the market is worth a visit by anyone looking for quality food at great prices.
The Joburg Market is first and foremost a commission market - farmers deliver their produce to market agents who then sell it to buyers. The market makes a five percent non-negotiable commission on the sale of all fresh produce, while market agents earn a negotiable 7,5 percent commission on sales.
