Tshwane Fresh Produce Market is open to residents and businesses that want to buy small quantities of fruit and vegetables for household consumption, family events and retail. Follow these four easy steps to becoming a regular customer at Tshwane Market and supporting local farmers:
Step 1: Open a cash or credit market account and obtain a buyer’s tag at the cashier complex in Halls A and B. Your identity document and proof of residence will be required to open a cash account, and businesses interested in opening a credit account should provide a bank guarantee as surety.
Step 2: Open a buyer’s tag for R25 from the market chief cashier. If a buyer loses his/her tag, a replacement will be issued for R75.
Step 3: Buyers who use a cash account must deposit funds into their account before purchases can be made. Please visit the chief cashier at the buyer’s self-service centre in the market hall if you have any questions concerning electronic payment options.
Step 4: Buy fruit and vegetables with your buyer’s tag from any of the 11 market agents on-site.
The recently Council-approved Tshwane Fresh Produce Market Precinct Plan has identified 15 improvement projects, that will help the market better link with small-scale traders in Marabastad, and maximize its reach to small-scale farming across the city.
Tshwane Fresh Produce Market is supplied with fruit and vegetables by over 6,000 farmers from across the country on a consignment basis, and sales on the trading floor are conducted by 11 market agents, with produce sold to an estimated 4,800 buyers daily.
Tshwane Fresh Produce Market is one of the city-owned assets that will be presented at Tshwane Investment Summit on Wednesday, 10 September 2025. It is currently operating at 20% capacity, but has the potential to become the second largest fresh produce market in South Africa, with a sizable turnover of over R3 billion.
The IMASA contempt of court order handed down by the High Court to the City of Tshwane on 11 August 2025 has helped the City of Tshwane prioritise demands made by IMASA to ensure the market is supported financially. Residents can also play their part by becoming regular customers at Tshwane Fresh Produce Market and supporting local farmers.
