The Taipei Agricultural Transportation and Marketing Company is the largest auction market in Taipei, but at the same location, there is also a Binjiang fruit and vegetable market for retail, which is a market often visited by people in Taipei. in addition, Bei Nong set up its own "descendants of farmers" outlets to sell agricultural special products. this holiday small farmers' market extends to the parking lot outside, and there will be 16 small farmers' stalls on the opening day of the market.

In addition to the holiday farmers' bazaar, Beinong has other programs to assist in the marketing of organic agricultural products. since March this year, it has expanded its cooperation with Quanlian supermarket to supply small packages of organic fruits and vegetables in 174 fresh restaurants in the greater Taipei metropolitan area. Bei Nong also integrates existing fruit and fruit collection points and consignment fleets to help small farmers deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to Taipei for sale and build an effective transportation and marketing channel for organic fruits and vegetables.

Taipei is a very important place for consumption, because of its large and concentrated population and strong consumption power, the sales of organic or friendly agricultural products can be guaranteed if they can enter the supply channel of vegetables and fruits in Taipei. Beinong has an independent sub-packing plant for organic agricultural products. from origin, transportation, sub-packaging to distribution, isolate the possible cross-contamination of other non-organic agricultural products. In March and April this year, the supply of organic fruits and vegetables through Beinong was 45 and 42 tonnes respectively, compared with 11 and 10 tonnes in the same period last year. Although the absolute quantity is very small, the increase is not small.

The Bei Nong Holiday Peasant Market will open this weekend to see where the agricultural products of small farmers are different from the general sales channels.
