ABSTRACT
Food wholesalers play a pivotal role within the food system of Dhaka by sustaining constant resource flows to the city are defined as business organisations that are dedicated to the sale of products to anyone else but to final consumers. Wholesalers are usually not in the focus of informality studies, as they are perceived as economic heavy weights that are less exposed to social exclusion or governmental eviction drives. In the mid-2000s, informality was re-framed by Nezar AlSayyad and Ananya Roy (2004) as a particular organizing urban logic. A business organisation can be perceived as legitimate by reference to its legal character while, at the same time, it can be framed as inappropriate and illegitimate due to its operations that are identified as incompatible with moral standards. Krishi Market is a Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) market, which means that the municipality is in charge of all building measures that take place on the market.
