declares CRO director Shen Jong-chin. He says that there are 1005 publicly operated markets of various sizes across Taiwan, with about 100,000 stalls, and when you also consider that most of the goods sold in these venues come from local suppliers, about 200,000 families depend on them for their livelihood. So if you want to stimulate the local economy and provide more local jobs, you have to strongly support traditional markets.
經濟部中部辦公室主任沈榮津強調，目前全台大大小小的公有市集高達 1,005 座，約 10 萬個攤商，加上市場貨源多來自當地小農，總計約 20 萬個家庭賴以維生，因此要想振興地方經濟、增加在地的就業機會，就必須大力扶持傳統市場。
