Beijing's largest vegetable wholesale market, which was temporarily shut down due to a COVID-19 epidemic resurgence in the first half-year, is expected to fully resume its supply capacity before the upcoming National Day holiday at the beginning of October.
BEIJING, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- On Sunday, the vegetable wholesale area in Xinfadi reopened, marking the full resumption of business at the market in the wake of the closure.
The market ceased its retail business and closed doors to individual consumers after reopening, and all sellers and buyers were required to complete real-name authentication before entering the market.
Covering an area of 42.7 hectares, the revamped market offered more than 40 varieties of vegetables such as corn, beans and Chinese cabbage.
