Synopsis (short abstract) The report, "The Status of fresh markets in Dhaka," has been jointly developed by World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This report provides a comprehensive insight into the current scenario of Dhaka's fresh markets. The rapid assessment in this report is complemented by jointly produced qualitative reports that cover institutional set-up, market's governance, and the food safety aspect of fresh markets. The report will be helpful for the urban planners and the policymakers to develop a long-term strategic vision for Dhaka through the much-needed discussion on the improvement of physical conditions as well as operational aspects of fresh markets.
