Farm fairs in Minsk will work until December 6 – in good weather

In Minsk, agricultural fairs will run until December 6, provided the weather is favorable. This was told by Elena Nagornaya, head of the main department of trade and services of the Minsk City Executive Committee, BelTA reports.

Agricultural fairs in Minsk have become an annual tradition. This season, trading started on September 19. The practice of extending fairs until December is not the first year and is supported by both sellers and citizens – and they intend to keep it.

The main trading platform is deployed near Chizhovka Arena, additionally there are nine more sites in different districts of the capital. According to Elena Nagorna, places for fairs were selected with the expectation of logistics convenience: the territories allow you to accommodate many participants, a significant part of which conducts trade directly from cars. Parking facilities are provided for buyers, convenient entrances and space for transport maneuvers are provided.

Individuals are allowed to participate in fairs - if there is a certificate of land plot and a list of grown products, as well as peasant (farm) farms and their representatives, manufacturers and organizations of the Belkoopsoyuz. The products of Belkoopsoyuz enterprises will remain particularly popular: eight such enterprises are involved in the fairs this season. Goods from them differ in lower prices compared to ordinary outlets of Minsk and a wide range of products. Due to high demand and a large number of regular buyers, sellers often start work before 8 a.m. There are also many private sellers participating in the fairs.

The largest influx of participants is expected in October: by this time, farms and agricultural enterprises plan to complete the harvesting campaign and will be able to present the full volume of collected products to citizens.

The participation of BRSM activists is noted separately: they help vulnerable categories of citizens – pensioners, people with disabilities and others in need – to deliver goods purchased at fairs home.
