In this video, we will show you the open-air market in Parnamirim, Rio Grande do Norte. The open-air market in Parnamirim, Rio Grande do Norte, initially operated in the city center, next to the old municipal market. Open-air markets emerged to meet the need for exchange between people and, throughout history, have been important for the development of communities, towns and cities. In Brazil, the custom of holding open-air markets came from the Portuguese and there are records dating back to colonial times. Open-air markets are important for the local economy, as they are a meeting point and a hub for the local economy. In addition, they are an important channel for supplying food and an opportunity for small rural producers to sell their products without intermediaries. SEMSUR (Secretariat of Urban Services) is responsible for supervising and organizing the Open-air Market in Parnamirim.
