A good bazaar in general. In addition to agricultural products, there are several pavilions with household goods. There is quite enough space inside the building, but for some reason most sellers prefer places in front of the building. It may be related to the cost of rent. Vegetables, fruits, and greens are mostly sold on the street, and milk, meat, and groceries are inside the building. The location of the bazaar is slightly off the beaten path from residential areas on the site of the former DSK. Almost opposite the Family Park shopping center.
The market is like one, but in fact there are 2 markets. One, civilized, indoors, and the other on the "ground", on the sidewalk, along the road. Vegetables, fruits, melons, etc. are abundantly covered with dust, dirt, exhaust gases from the work of vehicles. All requirements for non-compliance with the rules and norms of sanitation on the face. The most valuable thing that people have is HEALTH! And I think it is necessary, in the Damarik market, to bring all the terms of trade in full compliance with the requirements of sanitary norms and rules.

It was closed at the last visit.
And so it seems to be normal, almost everything is fresh, although it depends on what time you come.
If in the evening, then everything is like that, but if in the morning, then that's another matter.
In the early morning, you can almost buy delicious fruits and fresh vegetables from the peasants first-hand. The movement starts at 5 o'clock in the morning!
The bazaar is located on the site of a former house-building plant. During the day, it is expensive as in all bazaars. In the morning, from 5 to 7 a.m., you can buy cheaper from dehkans, dehkans come there every day
