London's Spitalfields wholesale market has a long history: it was founded 350 years ago. Until 1991 it was called Old Spitalfields Market, and it was later renamed New Spitalfields Market. To ease traffic in the city, its location and old structure have also been changed.
A market for the world's produce
The market has been developed entirely as a wholesale centre for vegetables and fruit, and it is one of Europe's largest fruit and vegetable wholesale markets, receiving imports from every region of the world. It has 115 trading units, or wholesale stalls, for vegetables, fruit and other farm produce, as well as many small stalls.
Open to expatriate traders
Alongside British citizens, expatriates from many countries can trade wholesale here. They sell imported produce to retailers, and many also supply consumers directly.
The question
Shykh Seraj's main search at the market was whether Bangladeshi farm produce is being imported and reaching it. The details are shown in the video.
