Abstract The non-profit central wholesale market system, a distribution system for fresh produce, is proved to be effective in practice in East Asia. Unconditional sale on consignment, auction, wholesale commission, cash settlement, market access and other essential rules are structured into the mechanism that prevents the distribution delay, the climbing cost and the unstable price, and the food safety monitoring mechanism. If the system is introduced to China and the existing fresh produce distribution policies are adjusted correspondingly, it could be expected that the disorder in Chinese fresh produce distribution will be improved.
