More than 20 years since its construction and operation, Thu Duc, Hoc Mon, and Binh Dien wholesale markets still play an important role in the supply chain of goods for people in Ho Chi Minh City and some neighboring provinces.

In Ho Chi Minh City, there are 3 large wholesale markets for agricultural products and foodstuffs: Thu Duc; Hoc Mon; Binh Dien. These markets have been built and developed for about 20 years, and are the main source of distribution for traditional markets, business households, and city residents... (Photo: Hoang Huong). |

Binh Dien wholesale market is located on Nguyen Van Linh Avenue, in the southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, Ward 7, District 8. This is considered the largest wholesale market in Vietnam today with a total area of 65 hectares, currently exploiting phase 1 of about 34 hectares (Photo: An Huy). |
 |
The market consists of 7 warehouses, 2 warehouses, parking lots and auxiliary facilities. The market mainly sells seafood, pork and vegetables. There are currently more than 1,500 traders doing business in various industries, providing nearly 50% of the food output for Ho Chi Minh City (Photo: An Huy). |
 |
The market is conveniently located for trading as it is located on Nguyen Van Linh Avenue, about 750m from National Highway 1 and 15km from the center of Ho Chi Minh City. One side of the market is adjacent to Ben Luc River, convenient for transporting goods by waterway from the provinces of the Mekong Delta (Photo: An Huy). |
 |
Binh Dien wholesale market was built and put into operation in 2006, trading in the following items: fresh flowers, vegetables, fruits, high-quality freshwater fish and seafood, aquatic products (sea fish), livestock meat, dried aquatic products and various types of fish sauce and fruits (Photo: An Huy). |
 |
Located at the eastern gateway of the city, Thu Duc wholesale market has an area of about 20 hectares, where agricultural products such as vegetables and fruits from the provinces are distributed to small retail markets in the city (Photo: Hoang Huong). |
 |
Container trucks continuously enter and exit the import yard at Thu Duc wholesale market. Here, the goods are transferred by workers to three-wheeled vehicles and transported to the stalls of small traders in the market (Photo: Hoang Huong). |
 |
The market consists of warehouses and auxiliary buildings such as warehouses, processing areas, management areas, and waste treatment stations. Since its inception, Thu Duc wholesale market has created jobs for thousands of workers (Photo: Hoang Huong). |
 |
With an area of about 10 hectares, Hoc Mon wholesale market is a transit point, supplying food and agricultural products in the Northwest of the city (Photo: Hoang Huong). |

Speaking to Dan Tri reporter, representative of Hoc Mon wholesale market management board said that every day, the source of goods is from 2,300 - 2,500 tons. Of which, vegetables, tubers, and fruits from other provinces are about 1,300 tons; leafy vegetables are about 250 tons; plants are about 300 tons; the rest is pork. In general, the amount of imported agricultural products is stable (Photo: Hoang Huong). "If Binh Dien wholesale market and Thu Duc wholesale market mainly operate at night and early morning, Hoc Mon wholesale market operates during the day. Every day, the market welcomes about 8,000 - 10,000 visitors. The market operates 24/7, so maintenance and repair work is regularly carried out," said a representative of Hoc Mon wholesale market management board. |

According to the reporter's observation, despite the signs prohibiting encroachment on the sidewalks, spontaneous trading still blatantly takes place on the roads surrounding the markets. Garbage is everywhere, emitting a foul smell, causing traffic safety and urban aesthetics (Photo: Hoang Huong). |

Recently, the Department of Industry and Trade submitted a document to the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee on the proposal to research and develop the fourth wholesale market in Tan Hiep commune (Hoc Mon district) with a scale of more than 100 hectares. The project is implemented according to the method of the state planning the area, allocating land funds and clearing the site, while enterprises invest in infrastructure, facilities and manage and exploit operations (Photo: Hoang Huong). |
