According to the Market System Planning in Quang Tri Province to 2025, with a vision to 2030, issued together with the Trade Development Plan of Quang Tri Province for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050, there are 9 planned markets in Huong Hoa district, including: Tan Lien Market (Tan Lien Commune), A Tuc Market (A Tuc Commune), Huong Phung Market (Huong Phung Commune), Khe Sanh Market (Khe Sanh Town), Tan Long Market (Tan Long Commune), Tan Lap Market (Tan Lap Commune), Ba Tang Market (Ba Tang Commune), Huong Viet Market (Huong Viet Commune) and Tan Phuoc Market (Lao Bao Town).

Tan Long Market (Tan Long Commune, Huong Hoa District, Quang Tri Province) is a third-class people's market with a total area of 3,652 m2 , built at the intersection of National Highway 9 and Provincial Road 586 (Tan Long intersection, km 74+800/National Highway 9), a place for people in the commune, neighboring areas and 7 communes in the Lia area to exchange and sell goods. This is a place where many traders from localities across the country come to buy agricultural products, especially fresh bananas.
However, the market is located in a location with high potential risks of causing traffic insecurity and disorder, so the locality has issued a document requesting departments and branches to add the banana market in Tan Long commune to the Planning for the development of the market system in Quang Tri province for the period 2025 - 2030 so that the locality can soon build a market in the new area.
According to Chairman of Huong Hoa District People's Committee Tran Binh Thuan, Tan Long market has a limited scale and area, is difficult to expand, and is not enough to arrange and serve the exchange and sale of agricultural products and fresh banana products, leading to people and traders often encroaching on the road safety corridor, the roadside of National Highway 9 and Provincial Road 586 to exchange and sell goods.
On the other hand, the market is located on the East-West Economic Corridor and the Trans-Asia Highway, about 8 km from Lao Bao International Border Gate, with many schools and administrative agencies, a dense branch road system, and a sudden increase in the number of heavy trucks, container trucks, tractors, and semi-trailers (an average of 500 - 700 trips/day), creating great traffic pressure in the area and potentially causing high risks of traffic insecurity, security and order, greatly limiting the exchange and sale of agricultural products.
Therefore, in order to promote and develop trade and service activities, attract traders to purchase and solve the output for agricultural products, especially fresh banana products of local people, while ensuring traffic safety and security and order in the area, the People's Committee of Huong Hoa district has organized a survey and selected the proposed location to build a new banana market in Tan Long commune, with an area of 17,000 m2 , about 1 km southeast of the current Tan Long market.
The proposed location has been approved by the Provincial People's Committee for land use planning until 2030 and land use plan for 2021 in Decision No. 2177/QD-UBND dated August 18, 2021 and proposed to add Tan Long commune banana market to the market system planning in Quang Tri province.
In response to the proposal of Huong Hoa district, on February 24, 2025, the Department of Industry and Trade sent a document requesting the Department of Planning and Investment to review the proposal to supplement and integrate Tan Long commune banana market into the Quang Tri Provincial Planning for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050, and submit it to competent authorities for consideration and decision.
