I don't think that was explained in the article. If these are small "mom 'n' pop" vegetable markets, they might not take food stamps (plastic cards now). They would have to be set up for it. Most vegetable markets I have been to only take cash.

Walgreen's started a new program last year. Many of their inner city stores now have a small section for fresh fruit and vegetables. Well, they said they were working on it. I don't know exactly how far they have gotten with it. They saw a need and decided to address it.
