(HBO) -About 1 year ago, the new Lo market at the new location in Dong village, Phong Phu commune (Tan Lac) was completed and came into operation. The construction basically met the needs of business, trade in goods of local people in the locality and the surrounding area.


Lo Market, Phong Phu commune (Tan Lac) at the new place attracts people in neighboring communes to exchange and purchase merchandises.

 

For a long time, the old Lo market has been gathered right at Highway 6, its infrastructure was narrow and didn’t meet the standard. On the other hand, the market is near the roadside, encroaching the pavement, causing many complicated issues of traffic safety, affecting the beauty, environmental sanitation, etc. With a total investment of more than 22, 6 billion VND from the provincial and district budgets, on the land area of 10,000 m2 for construction, Lo Market Construction has become the market of Level 3 including 90 business stores.

With the standardized technical infrastructure, located at the new place about 300m away from the old market, Lo new market still ensures its convenience in trading goods without affecting the traffic safety on the Highway 6. On the other hand, this is also a good place for people in the upland communes to go for shopping. Ms. Bui Thi Tam in Kem Hamlet, Dich Giao commune said: Since the opening of Lo new market, there is no scene of jostling, messy market on the road as before. The air environment of the new market is open, wide, the booths and sale stands are quite well organized so it is quite easy to go shopping and find the goods on demand. The environment is fresher; the fresh food sections are separated with the dry good ones.

  Up to now, Lo Market has the largest amount of construction investment among rural markets invested in Tan Lac district. The effectiveness of the market is recorded comprehensively as the local people trade at the right place. According to some small traders, the purchasing power is not less but continues to be maintained. The situation of security order and environmental sanitation in the market has been improved significantly. The activities of Lo Market also contribute to maintaining the criteria and appearance of the new rural Phong Phu commune.
