Rows of women in sunhats squatting and selling fish at Cat Ba outdoor market

Rows of women in sunhats squat before piles of small silver fish they are selling at an outdoor market in Cat Ba. In the row behind them, pails of vegetables are on sale from other vendors.

Women in Southeast Asia often work as food merchants in centralized outdoor markets where regional farm produce is collected for sale to surrounding town residents. Typically vendors selling similar items in adjacent spots are both cooperating and competing with each other for sales.
