概要
クイックファクト: 毎日2,000人以上の業者がここに集まり、正午までに約500トンの生鮮食品を扱っている。野菜の競りだけで約200品種を扱っており、国内最大級の流通拠点の一つとなっている。
見どころ: バナナの競りを見てみよう。数秒ごとに束が次々と取引され、価格が速いシンハラ語で叫ばれる一方、作業員たちは青いプランテンのピラミッドを積み上げていく。王様ココナッツのセクションは完全に信頼で成り立っており、農家は手書きの値札を付けた果物の山を置き、数時間後に代金を受け取りに戻ってくる。
インサイダーヒント
- Wear closed-toe shoes, the concrete floors stay wet and slippery from crushed fruit and washing water.
- Head to the large covered hall near the main entrance for the best photography light filtering through the roof vents.
- Skip the plastic-packaged tourist stalls at the front and walk deeper into the maze where farmers sell directly.
- Visit on a Friday or Saturday for the biggest variety and most dramatic auction action.
