The local agricultural industry is shrinking. Therefore, farmers in the Northern New Territories are allowed to sell their produce to wholesalers as well as in their own retail spots. Fishermen also want to enjoy this privilege, so that they could sell their seafood in both ways.隨著社會變遷，本地的農業市場萎縮。大量內地農產品進口，導致新界北區農民收入減少。鄉事委員會與政府合作，設立北區農產品零售點，讓他們做點小本生意。漁業同樣式微，漁民把鮮魚交給批發市場外，也在天光墟非法擺賣。漁業界聯同區議員遊行，希望政府設立合法賣魚區。近年，政府積極推動保留社區特色，但社會還有多少空間給他們呢？
