Vakarai and Kadaraveli, the market has been growing slowly over the past year.Initiated by a slew of NGOs, the Bridge Market is a collective that brings together small scale producers of agro and non-agro products in the Eastern province to create marketing opportunities for the village communities in Batticaloa.
Every Saturday, vendors set up shop and sell everything from fresh fruit and vegetables rice and grains, farm products, curd and treacle to traditional handicrafts made of coconut shells and basket weave. They also promote Eco-friendly bags.
Still in its infancy, there's still only a handful of vendors currently operating, but there were quite a few people gathered there when we visited. Prices are higher than the regular market, but that's to be expected.
