The new Rakiraki market which will have around 320 stalls will be opened today.
Minister for Local Government, Premila Kumar says the clean and modern market will not only add to the beauty of the town but generate revenue to boost Rakiraki Town Council’s operations and services as well.
Kumar says the market which is a modern spacious facility was designed to provide a facility for market vendors and consumers in the province of Ra.
She says the aim of the market is to accommodate the increasing number of vendors in Rakiraki and provide new opportunities for the farmers and entrepreneurs of Ra Province and Rakiraki Town.
The Rakiraki market was funded by the Fijian Government with the assistance of the Australian Government and the UN Women.
