Myanmar's Yangon region government has invited tenders to establish fruit and vegetable wholesale market in Yangon, a semi-official media reported Monday.

The project of fruit and vegetable wholesale market, the first of its kind, will be implemented under public-private partnership and a 34.4-hectare land in Insein township's Danyingon will be used for the move, said the Global New Light of Myanmar.

The public company, set up for the purpose, will sell its shares to farmers, traders and other people, an announcement of the Yangon City Development Committee was quoted as saying.

The wholesale market will comprise brokerages, truck terminal, wholesale plot, cold storage facilities for selling fresh-water and dried fish.

The closing date of the tender is set for January 1, 2015.

The fruit and vegetable wholesale market in Yangon is part of a plan introduced by the government in February, 2014 to set up such markets in Nay Pyi Taw, Yangon, Mandalay and Muse.
