In Kramatmulya District there is a market called Kramatmulya

Amid the pace of development of modern markets in the form of
malls, supermarkets, which have a strategic position is the traditional
market in the center of the economy because in the daily needs of the
lower middle class most people use the market to shop. Therefore,
market quality and market governance must be considered, to attract
competitiveness with the modern market.
Traditional markets, if reviewed clearly, do have several
important functions that cannot be replaced by modern markets. At
least, there are four economic functions that so far can be played by the
modern market:
a. Traditional Market is a place where the people of various layers
obtain daily necessities at relatively affordable prices, because
indeed the prices in traditional markets are cheaper than the prices
offered by modern markets. In other words, traditional markets are a
pillar of supporting the small economy of the community.
b. Traditional markets are relatively more accessible to weak economic
actors who occupy the majority position in terms of numbers.
Traditional markets are clearly far more accessible to most traders,
especially those with small capital than modern markets.
c. The market is one source of Regional Original Income (PAD) through
retribution drawn from traders.
d. The accumulation of buying and selling activities in the market is an
important factor in calculating the level of economic growth both on
a local, regional and national scale.
