"Nowadays, vegetable markets boast more and more functions, making it more convenient for us ordinary people to buy groceries." Recently, the Youlehui Sunjia Farm Food Market in the Jiangbei District was bustling with activity, and the "Food Safety in Ningbo under Inspection of the People" & Farm Food Market Renovation and Improvement Achievements Exhibition event kicked off here.

In addition to regular stalls selling vegetables, meat, poultry, and aquatic products, the Sunjia Farm Food Market is also equipped with a sewing workshop called "Common Prosperity Workshop" and provides convenient services such as hairdressing, key making, and umbrella repair, etc.. The newly introduced neighborhood canteen Le Xiao Guan in the market is also thriving, with many nearby residents coming to dine at every meal point.

Farm Food Markets, a "basket of vegetables" that affects thousands of households, are also an important window to showcase the civilized image of the city, reflecting the level of refinement in urban governance. A city, even if its roads are wide, buildings tall, and greenery beautiful, if the farm food markets are not well developed and the market environment is dirty, messy, and poor, we can only say that it's just polished not conforming to reality.

Improving the quality of farm food markets is not only reflected in the quality assurance of products, but also in the consumption environment. Ordinary people can buy affordable and reliable goods and services in a well-functioning farm food market, and their sense of happiness will naturally increase.

For a long time, our district has transformed and upgraded farm food markets as an important measure to deepen practical work for the people and promote the creation of a civilized city. We have increased financial investment, focused on the construction of long-term mechanisms, strengthened typical demonstration leadership, and developed a large number of farm food markets where the masses can shop comfortably, where the quality of goods can be assured, and where consumer services are satisfying.

As of now, 21 farm food markets in the entire district have completed renovation, each boasting its own unique positioning and characteristics. Every upgrade of the farm food markets witnesses the modernization process of the city, the improvement of governance level and capacity, and the upgrading of residents' lives.

Despite being impacted by e-commerce and other business formats, farm food markets will remain the main channel for supplying the "basket of vegetables" for urban and rural residents for a considerable period of time in the future. In the future, farm food markets not only need to have improved hardware, but is also expected to have enhanced functions, serving as both a place for residents to buy groceries and a hustle and bustle living space.
