During yesterday’s council meeting, the Tshwane Metro Council approved a turnaround strategy for the Tshwane fresh produce market with the main aim of improving trade activities and general service delivery.
The FF Plus played a decisive role in the implementation of this project.
After 15 months of constant pressure from the party, the decision to implement a turnaround strategy for the market was finally taken.
The Tshwane fresh produce market is a prominent trade centre for agricultural products and plays an important role in the Metro’s economy.
The turnaround strategy demonstrates the Metro’s commitment to continually promote growth and prosperity, and to keep meeting the agricultural community’s ever-changing needs.
The strategy entails various aspects, including infrastructure upgrades to create a safe, modern and convenient environment for all visitors.
The market will be re-designed to improve logistic flow, which will facilitate the buying and selling of products.
An integrated information system will be used to facilitate communication and transactions between all interested parties.
The market will also play an active role in promoting environmental awareness through implementing renewable energy sources, recycling and water-saving initiatives.
As part of the multiparty coalition government, the FF Plus will cooperate with all interested parties, like market agents, farmers, retailers and consumers, to ensure that the newly designed market meets everyone’s needs.
The party believes that the updated Tshwane fresh produce market will have a long-lasting positive impact on the agricultural community and the local economy.
