In addition to the banks, the complex also features a foreign exchange office, a hair salon/barber shop, a restaurant, a phyto-sanitary laboratory etc.Due to its location and high storage capacity, this complex is actually called the Su Market Logistic Center for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, and it is seen as the place where prices for fresh fruits and vegetables are set, since the high storage capacity of each warehouse space ensures control over prices, thus avoiding significant price variations which mostly affect the end-customers especially around the holidays.
The portfolio of clients who rent spaces and/or clients who have bought trade stands in this complex comprises Romanian legal entities with Romanian, Israeli, Greek, Italian, Turkish, Arab or Chinese shareholders who have made a name for themselves in the field of fresh fruits and vegetables imports, from countries such as: Greece, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Venezuela or other countries where exotic fruits and vegetables are being produced.
The opening of this complex had an important social impact, meaning that it contributed greatly to the development of the area, as it created at least 1200 jobs and the 125 companies which carry out their business here bring important financial contributions to the central and local budgets, i.e.
Afumati Municipality.
On a daily basis, 400 trailer trucks unload here fresh fruits and vegetables imported from countries that are the biggest fruit and vegetable producers, and the daily merchandise turnover is estimated at about EUR 8,000,000. 30% of the total volume of fresh fruits and vegetables sold in Su Market Commercial Complex is represented by domestic products, supplied by Romanian farmers.
