One of the most important of these products is sweets and chocolates, which many people are cooking these products at home due to the lack of suitable workspace.
Among the disadvantages of this, we can mention the non-participation of the producers with each other, the lack of visibility of their products, the lack of communication between the producer and the customer, and most importantly, the lack of participation of the people in the production of their requested products. Therefore, the existence of a place that can cover all the mentioned activities; is essential.
