Palma re-tenders the Mercat de Llevant – Can the supermarket become a true market hall again?

Answer

Why is it difficult for small producers to open a stall at Mercat de Llevant?

Even if Palma wants more local traders, the financial and practical barriers can be high. Stall rents, operating costs, delivery rules and daily logistics may make it hard for small cooperatives, bakers or producers from Mallorca to compete. Without support or fair conditions, larger operators may have an advantage.
