Markets in the countryside

The change we are going through is very abrupt and we still do not know what it means to adapt to a “new normal”. Sure, to establish a balance and a better order and thus take collective advantage of the situation. This pandemic forces us to have different views, in all areas.

The dynamism in some of our provinces is notorious, such as the de-concentration of markets: if previously the market day was on Sundays in the cities, now to avoid congestion and excessive contact, many merchants have made the effort to go to the hamlets and villages to acquire and offer products. Thus, the inhabitants of rural areas have these exchanges closer and trade becomes more direct.

This decentralization of commercial activities is currently helping the economic income of the rural producer. Hopefully the primary principles of barter, exchange and support are no longer negatively affected.
