The official inauguration of the temporary market was held on Tuesday by President Wavel Ramkalawan, accompanied by Vice-President Ahmed Afif. It included a symbolic ribbon-cutting by President Ramkalawan, Minister for Agriculture Flavien Joubert, principal secretary Keven Nancy, and market manager Vincent Germain, officially opening the temporary facility for business.
