We introduced a new management model to strengthen the role of the service contractor in managing the market, with a view to enhancing business vibrancy and meeting the needs of the public. There are a total of six market stalls, including two fruits stalls, one vegetable stall, one other food-related wet goods stall, one frozen/chilled meat (excluding chilled poultry) stall and one seawater fish stall, open for application from April 30 to May 14. They will be allocated by computer balloting."
