A 'market capacity model' has been proposed to predict maximum limits of the amount of incoming products per unit area in Kramat Jati Central Wholesale Market (Pasar Induk Kramat Jati) in Jakarta, Indonesia. The model calculation was based on the standardized unit area of the outlets in the market The model was applied to the average amount of dairy incoming products to estimate minimum limits of the area for each product in the market, and then the results indicated that the minimum area of the market should be 20% larger than the one in 2003 to solve the overstocks of the products in the market's passages. The model calculation also demonstrated that the market capacity could be 15% larger than that in 2003, and could be 50% larger if incoming products were overstocked in all the passages of the market. However, it would be difficult for the market to provide sufficient areas for sales of fresh produce if the number of wholesalers in the market becomes almost the double after the completion of the project, as planned by the market's authority. Therefore, the supply chains should be radically improved to attain the market's rationalization in Jakarta, including the abolishment of the regulation related to the status of the market as the only central wholesale market.
