INFOKU, BLORA – The impact of the spread of foot and mouth disease (PMK) has caused the Pon Market or Animal Market in Blora to temporarily close.
Not sure when it will reopen. This makes the food and beverage vendors in the market complain.
His income decreased because of the quiet. Traders took the initiative to open a clithic or non-animal market to revive the buying and selling ecosystem.
Head of the Department of Trade, Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises (Dindagkop UKM) Kiswoyo said the market could now be opened for non-animal trade.
If it were possible to open it every day to revive the market, it would have been closed for more than a month. The opening of the Klithikan market can be a hallmark of Pon Market.
