That's nice!

Most trading centers in Malawi have small stores which sell the products which are not made locally.

I do take a trip once a month to replenish farm supplies at the nearest city.

You have nailed almost everything 👏 . To the bottom right are a few sweet potatoes. The bottom middle has unripe tomatoes. These are at times sold to ripen later on. Locals do prefer buying most commodities ripe.

 

I lean toward the market feel. It's so much more welcoming and I feel more accomplished lol. The open air feels more inviting and just bustling in the throng of people is fun.

Supermarkets in Malawi 🇲🇼 are relatively small. The staff is not that motivated which is understandable. It breaks my heart how they have to be so mechanical for hours.

Not to say vendors are free of worries and disadvantages though.

That is so true. There is a surreal feel of knowing where your money is going. I love buying at the market here in Malawi than in these slightly more formal shops. The till attendants do greet but yeah they lack the enthusiasm of a vendor selling their merchandise.
