DUBAI, UAE: The Dubai Municipality has inaugurated the ‘Bloom Market’ for fruits and vegetables at the Dubai Central Market in Al Aweer, an integrated destination for buying and selling products and food items in an air-conditioned environment.
Spread over an area of more than 66,000 square meters, the Bloom Market is one of the biggest indoor markets in the region.
“Bloom Market is one of Dubai Municipality’s key projects, which aims to provide access to fresh products directly from the source, especially since the market will have exclusively imported fruits that are not found in other markets, to establish itself as a distinctive shopping hub,” the Director of Markets at Dubai Municipality Mohammed Faraidooni was quoted as saying by the Khaleej Times.
In addition to imported items, it will also bring fresh produce from local farms to consumers.
“The market will complete the current fruits and vegetables market,” he added.
“It will not compete with the current market and vendors. The uniqueness about this market is that it will serve both business to consumers, as well as business to business customers.”

Mohammed Faraidooni further added that the prices in the market are extremely competitive as compared to retail places. “When you come here, unlike retail supermarkets you get a better rate as you are buying from the source directly,” he said. “The price will be more competitive.”
The Director of Markets at Dubai Municipality also said that the Bloom market prices will be comparable to the outdoor market in Al Aweer.
“We have asked traders to maintain their prices similar to the outside market so as to attract more customers,” he said.
The market will also have a section for organic products at competitive prices.
