Municipalities in Argentina have implemented itinerant market programs to provide residents with access to affordable food and household goods. 

In San Miguel de Tucumán, the ‘Mercado en tu Barrio’ program, organized by the Municipal Directorate of Institutional Relations, operates in various public spaces. The initiative offers produce such as potatoes, tomatoes, and bananas, alongside bakery items, cleaning supplies, and specialized options like gluten-free and vegan products.

In Florencio Varela, the ‘Mercado Activo’ initiative operates on a weekly basis, providing meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, and dairy.
