Madinah's Seasonal Dates Market Opens with Free Vendor Stalls for Local Youth
A new initiative by the Saudi Press Agency aims to enhance entrepreneurship and support local families in business through complimentary vendor stalls at Madinah’s Central Dates Market.
The market, operational from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., is set to run for two months and offers job market entry opportunities for Saudi youth via accessible commercial activities.
The 900-square-meter tent serves as part of the broader seasonal markets framework aimed at streamlining dates commerce through electronic documentation that ensures transparency among farmers, brokers, and buyers.
Free retail spaces encourage youth and family-run businesses to participate in the seasonal economy by showcasing diverse product lines and potentially increasing household incomes.
Visitors benefit from authentic regional products known for their quality and diversity, thus enhancing domestic production support.
