Melbourne market could be sold

Key points

• The Victorian Coalition has pledged to sell the Melbourne Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market at Epping if it wins the state election. The party says industry ownership would better meet the market's needs and cut state net debt by a predicted $578 million.
• Opposition leader Jess Wilson said industry could run the market better than government.
• Agriculture Minister Michaela Settle said Labor has no plans to sell and warned the move would raise grocery prices and harm farmers.
