A
village market
A village market
is a place where
villagers meet to buy
and sell goods. There
are two kinds of village markets
in Bangladesh one sits
daily, called the bazaar ; and
the other sits periodically, called hat.
A village market generally sits buy the side of
a river or a canal or under the shade of a banian tree in an open field.
The village market sits twice a week in the afternoon and
breaks up after evening. A bazaar sits
every morning or evening daily. Of course, permanent shops remain open from
morning to till 10 0’clock at night.
In a village market, shops of the same kind sit in one place
Thus there are vegetables market, fish market, cloth market, rice and paddy
market, betel leaf and betel nut market and so on. Of all the markets, the fish
market is the most crowded and noisy place.
The permanent shops usually sell cloth, oil, sweetmeats, stationery
and grocery articles. Sellers begin to gather in the market in the afternoon, and in the bazaar in the morning and
afternoon. There is no fixed price in any village market. There is more in the
fish market.
A village market is very useful to the villagers. People can
easily sell and buy necessary things in a short time. It also serves as a
meeting place of the villagers.
Villagers not only buy and sell goods but also get news and
views in the village market.
Therefore, we should try to improve its condition.
