Weekly agricultural fairs start in Yerevan

Weekly agricultural fairs start in Yerevan

ArmInfo. The next seasonal fair of  agricultural products will open on June 10 at 11.00 in the Arabkir  community in Kasyan Street. In July another fair will be organized in  the territory adjacent to Mesrop Mashtots Avenue in the  administrative district of Kentron. Deputy Minister of Agriculture of  Armenia Robert Makaryan stated this at a press conference on June 7.

Fairs of agro products have been organized since 2011 at the  initiative of the Armenian Agriculture Ministry, as well as with the  assistance of the Yerevan City Hall. Past almost 580 fairs, according  to the Ministry of Agriculture, have justified themselves, since they  are the best platform for interaction between the villagers and the  residents of the capital - farmers get all the profit, as the  products are sold without intermediaries, and the townspeople  purchase goods at affordable prices.

The next fair season will continue the already established good  traditions, villagers will be provided with free pavilions, scales,  carts and overalls.
