TRADE / COMMERCE

 Public Market

The city has three existing public markets. The old city market at the Poblacion, which was destroyed by fire in 1982, has been temporarily reconstructed. Dry goods are the main commodities that can be found in this old market.

The other market is the Don Julian Pastor Memorial Market in Barangay Cuta, which is approximately 800 meters away from the old market, which was constructed in 1977. This is also serving as the "bagsakan area" for locally produced fruits and vegetables.

The third market which was completed in 1993 thru a financial assistance provided by the Economic Support Fund Secretariat (ESFS) under the Office of the President and the U. S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is adjacent to DJPMM with 363 stalls for fruits/vegetables and dry goods.

 Commercial Area

The identification of the city as an industrial growth center in the region and being the focal point of the CALABARZON program resulted to the increasing number of business establishments in the city's Central Business District (CBD). At present, there are several four to five storey commercial buildings already constructed in the CBD. Several of the existing business establishments in the city have already been improved and renovated or were demolished for reconstruction.

 City Slaughterhouse and Auction Market

The City's slaughterhouse was constructed in Barangay Sitio Ferry, Kumintang Ibaba. The operation of the slaughterhouse is highly mechanized and its management, operation and maintenance is being leased by the city government since December 2001 to Sorosoro Ibaba Development Cooperative, Inc. (SIDCI).

The City Cattle Auction Market is located adjacent to the Office of the City Veterinarian and Agricultural Services in Barangay Bolbok. The auctioning of livestock particularly cattle is regularly being done during Wednesday. Its management and operation is under the administration of the city government.
