The Mother City’s historichas gone green, installing more than 3 000 solar panels to beat load-shedding woes and ensure an energy-secure future.
“This project marks a milestone for one of the oldest and largest fresh produce markets in South Africa. With over 5 500 producers delivering produce to market agents, who in turn sell to more than 8 000 registered buyers, Cape Town Market is a central player in the city’s food security,” says alderman James Vos, mayoral committee member for economic opportunities.
Located in Epping, the Cape Town Market is a fresh produce market that has been operating in the country for over 50 years, and the first to include agents and buyers as shareholders.
