Mie Prefectural Regional Wholesale Market is located in Matsusaka, rather than the prefectural capital Tsu. It supports fresh-food trading through produce and fish divisions. The Mie Chuo Ichiba Management website provides a facility overview, registration information and statistics. Identifying the exact venue matters when arranging shipments: the prefectural institution and the particular business accepting the goods perform different roles, and a transaction requires an identified commercial counterparty.
A prefectural description published in July 2023 gives the address as Ozu-cho 800, Matsusaka, an opening in July 1981 and a site area of 144,448.08 m². This dated area was used because older profiles may report a slightly different figure. The opening year is historical context rather than an economic performance indicator. Site size cannot establish vacant trading space or support an estimate of turnover without additional evidence about actual transactions.
The public calendar links to daily produce price reports. The bulletin read for 29 October 2026 states tax-inclusive prices in yen per specified trading unit. Missing observations should not be filled using prices from another variety or another market without clearly identifying the substitution.
A buyer should compare variety and pack weight as well as the commodity name. Mandarins, apples and grapes may use very different units, so conversion requires reading the relevant row. Agree collection timing, minimum quantities and acceptable substitutions. A date in the reporting calendar is neither a promise of next-day availability nor a reservation of the quantity shown. For a mixed order, ask whether one trader will consolidate the goods or whether separate collection arrangements are needed.
A grower or exporter should begin with a business handling the relevant category and confirm its quality and lot-identification requirements. Establish acceptance, deductions, unloading and payment arrangements before directing a vehicle to the market. Registration information on the operator’s site does not imply that every shipment can be accepted without advance notice. Repeat supply benefits from an agreed complaints procedure and a contact available during delivery. These are practical questions to resolve with the buyer, rather than claims that the market applies one identical contract to every participant.
