Vendors in the Bourda and Stabroek markets have been vocal about the hardships they continue to face as sales decrease due to the implementation of COVID-19 measures by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH).
On Tuesday, they heard that these measures will be in place for another two weeks.
While the demand for fruits and vegetables seems to have skyrocketed, vegetable vendors in the Bourda Market say that the sales they make on a daily basis tell a different story. “Business slow up a lot,” one vendor lamented, explaining that she has even dropped the price for some of her produce in a desperate attempt to attract sales.
