Ho Chi Minh City’s biggest corn market
The market is the one gathering place for all varieties of corn before they reach consumers
Ten kilometers outside Ho Chi Minh City, a wholesale corn market exists where traders from the Mekong Delta gather to distribute their produce to retailers in the southern metropolis.
The ‘corn market,’ situated on Trinh Thi Mieng Street in the suburban district of Hoc Mon, has no official name, but is colloquially addressed as ‘Nga Ba Bau Market,’ given its position next to a Y-junction.
The wholesale market has been open for dozens of years and is the only gathering place for all varieties of corn before they are distributed to smaller markets and retailers in Ho Chi Minh City.
The facility consists of 20 booths of all s, with prices based on the and type of the produce.
Vu Thi Hanh, a resident of Thu Duc District, has visited the market on a daily basis for more than ten years because “this is the biggest corn market in Saigon,” she says, applying the former name of Ho Chi Minh City.
