Abstract

The vegetables play a vital role in human diet as fresh foods sources of calories, vitamins, dietary fiber and special nutrients. Thus, the vegetables selling should be done with maximum health in order to keep them in the best possible conditions, without lead to spoiling. The purpose of this paper is to make a detailed analysis of how vegetables are marketed and capitalised in various hypermarkets, supermarkets and food markets in Bucharest. Focus was also placed on how their quality is influenced by the way they are displayed and marketed. The vegetables selected for the sample survey were potato, onion, tomato, bean, cucumber, pepper, garlic and carrot. The selection of these commodities was based on their importance in terms of their volume of sale in the Bucharest markets.
