The market is touted to be the second-largest in the region after Kongowea in Mombasa.
A Sh120 million Kombani fresh produce wholesale market funded by the European Union (EU) in partnership with Kwale County is almost complete.
Governor Salim Mvurya said the market would create platforms for entrepreneurs to do business and farmers to get value of their produce as well as boost local economy.
He said the market is expected to serve more than 6,000 local farmers, 1,000 traders and 75 wholesalers.
“The main objective of the market is to contribute to enhancing local economic growth and development through the creation of linkages between production and market,” he said.
