20 years of Mercovasa - a private wholesale market proves itself

摘要

In many European countries, most traditional wholesale markets now only perform a stopgap function. The big retail food companies have been ordering their goods directly from production for some time now. One exception to this rule are those who developed a concept early on: meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, plus flowers all under one roof and with the organised retail food trade as an integrated partner. The Spanish AAerca concept still works today. The fact that things can be done differently is evident in Valencia, where there are two wholesale markets, the state-owned Mercavalencia and the privately run Mercovasa.
