Beijing Agricultural Product Zhongyang Wholesale Market, located next to the Xinfadi wholesale market, has fully resumed operations and reopened to the public after one year of renovations and upgrading. 

Established in 1995, the market is located outside of Beijing's South Fourth Ring Road and is affiliated with Beicai Business Management Co., Ltd. under the management of Beijing Capital Agribusiness and Foods Group. Covering a total area of 8 hectares, the market has turned into Beijing's largest wholesale market for new varieties of vegetables, edible fungus, and pre-packaged food. The sales of these products account for around 80% of the total in the Chinese capital. Prior to its renovations, the volume of products at the market surpassed 1 million metric tons per year, and the total annual sales exceeded 10 billion yuan (US$1.54 billion), according to deputy general manager Zhang Haijuan. 

The market now houses a total of 487 vendors, each selected during the period of upgrading and renovations. All of them enjoy good reputations for their brands and provide high quality products. 

In addition, a total area of 15,000 square meters has been turned into a parking lot. The market now also provides platforms to trade agricultural products online. 

According to anti-epidemic measures, only registered members are allowed to enter the wholesale market after completing facial recognition procedures, displaying green health codes, and having their temperatures taken. 

A retail section in the western part of the market has also opened to serve nearby communities.
