Also called the Central de Abastos, Guadalajara's Mercado de Abastos is a regional wholesale market covering three or four city blocks east of the historic centre. It operates daily from 3:00 to 19:00 and concentrates wholesalers of fresh produce, meat, spices, dry goods and household goods, serving restaurants, small shops and tianguis vendors across Jalisco and western Mexico. Guides describe it as a regional distribution hub with a parallel bargain-outlet character.
Its core traffic is bulk produce, meat and grocery wholesaling that feeds the restaurants, markets and small retailers of western Mexico. For Chinese exporters of food machinery, cold-chain equipment, packaging and dry food products, the market is a representative place to study a mid-sized Mexican regional wholesale system. Supply and unloading activity peaks in the early morning hours, which is the best window for business introductions and distributor meetings.
