This document discusses different types of markets. It describes weekly markets that are temporary and move locations each day. It also describes permanent neighborhood shops and large shopping complexes/malls. Weekly markets offer cheaper prices and more choice since there are many sellers. Neighborhood shops are convenient as they are near homes. Shopping complexes and malls have many stores under one roof and sell both branded and non-branded goods. Markets exist in various forms through traders, distributors, online/phone orders, and business-to-business exchanges.

9. Chain of Markets
1.The people in between the producer and the
final consumer are the traders. The wholesale
trader first buys goods in large quantities.
2.For example, the vegetable wholesale trader
will not buy a few kilos of vegetables but will buy
in large lots of 25 to 100 kilos.
3. These will then be sold to other traders. In
these markets, buying and selling takes place
between traders. It is through these links of
traders that goods reach faraway places. The
trader who finally sells this to the consumer, is
the retailer. This could be a trader in a weekly
market, a hawker in the neighborhood or a shop
in a shopping complex.
4. Every city has areas for wholesale markets.
This is where goods first reach and are then
supplied to other traders.

10. Markets
everywhere
1. it is not always necessary that one
has to go to the market to purchase
goods.
2. You can place orders for a variety
of things through the phone and
these days through the Internet, and
the goods are delivered at your
home. In clinics and nursing homes,
you may have noticed sales
representatives waiting for doctors.
3. Such persons are also engaged in
the selling of goods. Thus, buying
and selling takes place in different
ways, not necessarily through shops
in the market
4. The markets that we looked at
above are the ones that we
recognize easily. However, there are
markets that we may not be so
aware of.
5. large number of goods are
bought and sold that we don’t use
directly. For example, a farmer uses
fertilizers to grow crops that he
purchases from special shops in the
city and they, in turn get them from
factories.
6. A car factory purchases engine,
gears, petrol tanks, axles, wheels,
etc. from various other factories. We
don’t usually see all the buying and
selling, but only the final product –
the car in the showroom. The story
is similar for any other good.
