The market complex consists of two-story shop houses with floor areas of 1200 and 2400 square feet. The market is at the center of the planned Internet-based commodities exchange network that will link all of the country's wholesale commodity exchange centers, to achieve consistent pricing and operations.cite journal | url=http://www.mmtimes.com/no435/b002.htm | title=No completion date set for comms trading network | date=2008-09-08 | author=Htin Kyaw | publisher=The Myanmar Times] Currently, Myanmar’s wholesale commodity exchanges are currently only connected by telephone.
