HIBAPRESS – Fikri Ould Ali
The wholesale market for vegetables and fruits located in the commune of Ait Youssef Ou Ali, which is a key point in supplying a number of communes in the Al Hoceima region, including Imzouren, Boukidan, Sidi Bouafif, Ajdir and Al Hoceima, is experiencing a worrying situation as a result of the neglect that has affected its infrastructure, especially at the level of the market entrance, which has become in a deteriorated state.
With every rainfall, the same scene is renewed, as the market environment turns into pools of mud and dirt, while dust and sand become the most prominent title during periods of drought, which hinders the movement of trucks and means of transport, and increases the suffering of professionals and wholesalers, and negatively affects the normal flow of commercial activity within this vital facility. Despite the important economic role that the wholesale market plays at the regional level, and the commercial dynamism and job opportunities it provides, the concerned territorial groups have not succeeded, up to this hour, in providing the minimum necessary equipment, at the forefront of which is the preparation and paving of the market entrance, which is a simple demand that requires only limited intervention and a real will to address this defect. In the face of the continuation of this situation, professionals and those coming to the market launch an urgent appeal to the officials and the competent authorities to immediately intervene to rehabilitate the wholesale market entrance, and to put an end to daily suffering that is repeated with every rainfall, in a way that guarantees decent working conditions, preserves the dignity of professionals, and contributes to improving the image of this vital economic facility in the Al Hoceima region.
