Competition Policy

The Karaka Market endeavours to keep a good balance range of products at the market. However, there will be some competition. There is careful judgment in regard to the balance of stallholders at the market, allowing moderate levels of competition in the market. We cannot guarantee any stallholder protection from competition, but we will try to ensure that stallholder additions to the market are complimentary to what is already on offer. This means offering a range of styles, price ranges and allowing for speciality products.
Stallholders must first check with the market manager before selling new products.
This is to avoid clashes with other stallholders and also to help with promotion of new products.
