While doing this, the market kept its core objective: providing fair market opportunities for small-scale traditional and organic products. Profits from the commercial extensions fund Souk el Tayeb’s operational expenses and activities. The market employs 11 full-time staff members, and has a clientele that is mindful of their place in protecting the environment.
