Starting from October 7, 7 direct supply markets will be established in Tehran to facilitate citizens' access to essential and daily goods. These markets aim to reduce prices and offer quality products, selling 10 to 15 percent below market rates, and are expected to become one of the main shopping options for Tehran residents.
Why Direct Supply Markets?
Given the rising prices and economic concerns of citizens, the establishment of these markets can help alleviate financial pressures on families. City managers and relevant officials believe that despite economic fluctuations, direct supply of goods can serve as a means to control prices and improve access to essential products. This initiative is particularly important for low-income segments of society, as it provides the opportunity to purchase necessary goods at more affordable prices.

Products and Services of These Markets
These markets will include a variety of food, hygiene, and daily products. From fresh fruits and vegetables to protein products and cleaning supplies, all goods will be offered at reasonable prices and with satisfactory quality. According to the planned arrangements, these markets will be established in various locations across Tehran to make access easier for citizens.
Additionally, officials have planned to ensure continuous monitoring of prices and product quality to guarantee that citizens are satisfied with their purchases and have minimal concerns in this regard. This action, besides improving the economic situation of citizens, can also help increase market transparency and combat hoarding and unfair pricing.
Social and Economic Impacts
Alongside economic benefits, the establishment of these markets can also have positive social consequences. By providing suitable conditions for purchasing goods, it is expected that social interactions among citizens will increase, creating a positive and vibrant shopping atmosphere in the community. These markets can also serve as a place for exchanging opinions and shopping experiences, helping to strengthen social solidarity.
Thus, the launch of 7 direct supply markets in Tehran not only helps reduce living costs but can also improve the quality of life for citizens and create a positive environment for shopping and social interaction. This initiative can be an important step towards supporting vulnerable segments of society and improving the economic status of households.
