The city pledged to ensure the daily supply of 7,000 tons of vegetables, while more than 8,000 pigs will be put on the market every day.

The Shanghai Vegetable Group will increase its daily turnover of vegetables from 6,000 to 8,000 tons.

Major wholesale markets for aquatic products will supply more than 1,000 tons of fresh, chilled and frozen products every day.
