Hokusei Regional Wholesale Market in Yokkaichi handles fruit, vegetables and fishery products and is operated by Hokusei Kosetsu Oroshiuri Ichiba. It should be distinguished from the meat market carrying a similar regional name. The operator lists Kawarada-cho, aza Ikura 712, Yokkaichi, and telephone +81 59 347-8111. Its website also directs prospective buyers and businesses to participation information.
A Yokkaichi municipal document describes the facility as of 1 October 2024: a site of 116,269 m² and 1,255 parking spaces. It also lists one principal wholesaler in each of the produce and fish divisions. Area and parking capacity describe logistical infrastructure rather than annual sales. A stated number of parking spaces does not imply unrestricted vehicle access to unloading areas or confirm that space will be available at a chosen arrival time.
The operator publishes market reports in a dedicated website section. The example read covers daikon, carrots, lotus root, cabbages, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, mushrooms and bananas, among other goods. Blank fields and zero values need to be interpreted using bulletin notes, rather than treated as offers of free goods. A commodity appearing in the reporting template need not have a price on every trading day.
A buyer should specify whether it wants to deal with a principal wholesaler, an intermediate wholesaler or another business on the site. Agree minimum lots, ordering arrangements and collection around the relevant division’s closed days. Price comparisons require matching origin, grade and package weight. If several vegetables are needed together, ask whether a mixed order can be assembled and whether all lines will be invoiced by one firm. This can affect collection efficiency, payment administration and the treatment of shortages.
A supplier should confirm acceptance before dispatch, giving quantity, transport temperature and expected arrival time. Establish quality-assessment procedures, proof of receipt and payment timing. Redevelopment plans described in municipal material do not demonstrate completed construction or the current traffic layout. Obtain the correct entrance and unloading point from the counterparty. Public information supports the initial enquiry but does not replace individual selling arrangements, including responsibility for rejected goods and charges incurred while a vehicle waits.
