Tatarstan sold 89.8 million rubles worth of produce during the first week of the fairs.
Traditional agricultural fairs resumed in the republic on March 14 at 14 sites in Kazan, two in Naberezhnye Chelny and the Zelenodolsk district, three in the Nizhnekamsk district, and at varying intervals in municipal districts.
Agricultural fairs have become a well-established tradition in Tatarstan and are held regularly, connecting producers and consumers, promoting agricultural development and improving the region's food security, all in line with the goals and objectives of the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy."
Last Saturday, Lenar Garipov, First Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Tatarstan, inspected the fairgrounds in Kazan. He toured the stalls at the Kazan Agro-Industrial Park, assessed the variety of products, and interacted with buyers and sellers.
Residents were able to purchase fresh meat, sausages, draft milk, cheese, butter, eggs, vegetables, honey, sugar, flour, cereals, and other farm produce brought in from Tatarstan's municipal districts at affordable prices.
