Xinfadi Market (Chinese: 北京新发地农产品批发市场, Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market) is a covered wholesale food market in the southern Beijing district of Fengtai. As of 2020, the market provides more than 90% of Beijing's fruits and vegetables according to state media.[1] Seafood[1] and meat[2][3] are also sold at the market. Vendors distribute produce from Xinfadi to many smaller markets in Beijing.[4] It is nicknamed the "vegetable basket" and "fruit bowl" of the city.[5][6][7]
Xinfadi Market opened on May 16, 1988.[8] It has been renovated at least once in its lifetime.[9] In 2017, it covered an area of 112 hectares.[9] It is the largest wholesale food market in Beijing,[10] with three floors above ground and two underground in 2018.[9] It was the largest wholesale food market in Asia,[11] with as of 2020 more than 10,000 workers[1] including 1,500 managers and over 4,000 tenants.[12] According to the official site in 2020, more than 20,000 tons of fruit, 18,000 tons of vegetables, and 1,500 tons of seafood are sold at the market each day.[13] There is a "beef and lamb trading hall", and poultry meat is also sold on the premises.[citation needed] "The Xinfadi Market is more of a one-stop-shop where wholesalers in the city would purchase vegetables, meat and seafood hall after hall."[citation needed]
The market was responsible in 2016 for 70% of Beijing's fresh vegetables,[9] more than 80% of Beijing's fresh food and drinks, and all of the city's imported fruit.[14] Every year, 14 million tons of products are sold at the market for an estimated 50 billion RMB.[14][9]
