Potatoes for 80 kopecks, apples up to 4 rubles - learned that the prices at the autumn fair in Mogilev

The first large-format agricultural fair started in Mogilev. The autumn forum, which unfolded on the territory of the sports and recreation complex "N2O" along Zlatoustovsky Street, is designed to provide citizens with high-quality fruit and vegetable and meat products for the winter season directly from manufacturers, the correspondent of sb.by reports.

There are many people, the tents are full of signs, and in the air there is the smell of fresh vegetables and autumn apples. That hype is understandable. The goods at the site were presented by 13 large enterprises of the region, including such flagships as “Grandmother Krynka”, “Domochai” and “Mogilev Meat Plant”. Also, seven agricultural organizations, five peasant farms, two fish farms and individual entrepreneurs are involved in trade.

Trading rows offer a traditionally wide range of fresh vegetables and fruits, meat, fish, honey, nuts, as well as seeds, seedlings and products of leading urban industries. What about the prices?

First of all, the look clings to apple collapses. Here in the tent "Arinika-agro" are neat price tags: fresh Belarusian apples - 2.2 and 1.5 rubles per kilogram. Here it is a matter of taste, you can try different varieties right on the spot and decide which is optimal for you.

Here is a farmer in camouflage exhibits bags of potatoes: his variety “Queen Anna” goes for 0.79 rubles.

A separate story is the retail outlet of the Klimovichi bakery combine. Here they sell grain by weight: wheat and corn - 12 rubles per 30 kilograms, and triticale grain - 10 rubles for the same bag.

Prices at the fair are really lower than in stores. There is a monitoring group of management. Our management, as well as the trade department of the Mogilev City Executive Committee and economic departments in the districts control that manufacturers do not overstate prices.

To ensure the availability of goods, the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee recommended that the participants of the fairs, which will be held in the city from October 17 to November 1, set marginal retail prices for the main positions. So, the cost of one kilogram of potatoes and beets should not exceed 0.8 rubles, cabbage and carrots - 1 ruble, onions - 1.1 rubles, and apples - 4 rubles.
