Mercado de Beira
Wholesale · Beira, Mozambique · also called Beira market, Mercado Municipal da Beira
The port city's market, at the coastal end of the Beira corridor. Beira grows little of its own vegetables — traders fetch them from Manica — so a highland grower who can get a load down here is selling into demand rather than competing with it.
In season here in September: Tomato · Onion
