Traditional agricultural fairs resumed in Kazan, two in Naberezhnye Chelny and the Zelenodolsk district, three in the Nizhnekamsk district, and with varying frequency in municipal districts.
Over the weekend, Lenar Garipov, First Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Tatarstan, visited the fairs on Pobedy, Fuchika, and Batyrshina Avenues, personally appreciating the full range of food products on offer.
Lenar Garipov interacted with buyers and sellers, answered all their questions, and thoroughly examined the selection of goods at the fairgrounds.
The stalls featured poultry, eggs, beef, pork, potatoes, vegetables, milk and dairy products, sugar, sunflower oil, flour, and a variety of confectionery. Farmers and agricultural enterprises offered residents fresh, high-quality produce grown and produced in the republic.
