— Photo traveltimes.vnHCM CITY — The management companies of Bình Điền, Thủ Đức and Hóc Môn wholesale markets have asked HCM City authorities to adjust their “very outdated” management fees as they have had to compensate for losses. They have also urged the People’s Committee to speed up relocation of other inner-city wholesale markets to outlying districts, and clear illegal markets near wholesale markets to ensure the legitimate interests of traders at wholesale markets. He said that building brands for wholesale markets and stalls were important, and that brand building began with selling goods with a clear origin and good quality. Bình Điền, Thủ Đức and Hóc Môn wholesale markets should develop measures to attract more traders from inner-city wholesale markets, he added. As for the petition to hike management fees, Tuyến told the city’s Department of Finance to submit new management fees for the three wholesale markets to the municipal government for approval by mid-March.
