Another
valuable service is the link between the Rundu Open Markets and its
Vegetable and Fruit Gardens, which
connect the producers, traders and sellers. The gardens
are managed by some of the women working at the Markets and are
promoted by the Market operators.When the harvest is ready, it is advertised on the notice board at the
Kehemu Open Market.
Here the
informed buyer can also get an idea of the
Market prices.
The Likoro Garden is only 1km from town and can be reached by foot, thus saving
time and money to the traders who usually have to bear expensive transport fees.
For the Market women,
the cumbersome transport problem
is now a thing of the
past. The vegetables
from the "Siya" Garden are dropped right at the Rundu Open Market,
where the vendors can buy
at a wholesale price.
