Clearly "sale by auctioneers and hawkers/costermongers in vegetable and fruit xxx"

Is a "mabsat" an open-air market for fruit and vegetables, or something similar?

Explanation:
السعوديون يعدون على أصابع اليد الواحدة
الوافدون يتحكمون في مباسط الخضار بالحلقة وتراجع ملحوظ لنسب السعودة?



علي العميري - مكة المكرمة??
سيطر العمالة الوافدون على حلقة الخضار والفواكه بالعاصمة المقدسة وتحولت السعودة إلى أثر بعد «عين» بعد أن كانت السعودة في حلقة الخضار 100% ولا تجد وافدا يعمل في الحلقة.?وأظهرت جولة قامتها بها «المدينة» على الحلقة تحكما للعمالة الوافدين في المباسط وإحكام الرقابة عليها واستقبال الزبائن والبيع والشراء بحرية كاملة بعد أن ترك الشباب السعوديون العمل في هذا المجال سواء وافقوا بطريقة أو بأخرى.. «المدينة» حاولت الوقوف على أسباب تراجع نسبة السعودة في حلقة الخضار والفواكه إلى 1% من خلال استطلاع آراء الأطراف المعنية.?من جانبهم أكد عدد من الشباب الذين لازالوا يعملون في حلقة الخضار والفواكه وهم يعدون على أصابع اليد الواحدة أن الشباب يجدون مضايقة كبيرة من العمالة الوافدة خاصة وأن العديد من البسطات مملوكة للوافدين وهم يسعون للسيطرة على البسطات والحصول على العوائد، مشيرين إلى أن من الأسباب التي أدت إلى تسرب الشباب السعودي تدني الرواتب وزيادة ساعات العمل عن أكثر من 10 ساعات يوميا وعدم وجود حوافز أو مميزات إضافة إلى أن بعض التجار يستأجرون المباسط ويؤجرونها من الباطن على الوافدين الذين يحصلون على عوائد مادية عالية.?
