According to deputy head of HCM City Peoples Councils Social and Cultural Issues Committee Nguyen Van Minh, only newly-built wholesale markets in the city, like Binh Tay and An Dong markets, are up to health safety standards, while t he rest are mostly built over 30 years ago.
Part of the problem was dilapidated architecture, the deputy said, adding although most old markets were repaired at least once a year, the repairs were patchy and insufficient.
