This is the Blantyre market. Most cross border traders have poor access to good and safe trading spaces. Agricultural producers and street vendors have each gotten their own places to trade. We would like a system like in Zambia where there is a big Comesa market at which Zambians and cross border traders from other countries are all welcome to trade.
