Man carrying cauliflowers at Lahore's Fruit and Vegetable market of Badami Bagh is the biggest wholesale market in the province of Punjab, Pakistan
Located in northwest Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, the Fruit and Vegetable market of Badami Bagh is the biggest wholesale market in the province, and the second biggest in the country after that of Karachi. It provides wholesale fresh produce for more than 10 million people daily. At first view, Badami Bagh market looks crowded, disorganised, and unhealthy. After a rainy day, trucks, donkey carts, and men carry the fresh produce to different stalls in muddy narrow overcrowded alleys. Despite the old-fashion feeling, it is well organised, and buyers know where to acquire the best produce. According to government officials, the provincial government may eventually consider shifting the Badami Bagh market to some other location if the need arises in the future. Meanwhile, traders at the Badami Bagh market have expressed concerns over the new project and the government’s decision to change locations to Lakhodair, northeast of Lahore.
