Massive Fruit Market Opens In Broadhurst

The project, which is located at the old Hyundai car assembly plant at Broadhurst Industrial Estate in Gaborone, is a joint venture between the Botswana Development Corporation (BDC) and the Botswana Horticultural Council (BHC). The Ministry of Agriculture is also involved as a facilitator and is represented on the board of the directors.

 The Market Master is Petrus Koswane who says the market operates on a commission basis; that is to say it earns a commission on products it sells for farmers and other producers. The commission is intended for providing and maintaining facilities and ensuring that the law pertaining to fresh produce sales is adhered to.
