    YEREVAN'S FIRST AGRICULTURAL FAIR DISAPPOINTS CONSUMERS?

    Tert.am
    22.08.11

    The first ever showcase of agricultural products in capital Yerevan
    has failed to meet consumers' expectations.

    The fruits, vegetables and meat offered by villagers in an open-air
    fair on Sunday sold almost for the same prices as in other markets.

    Consumer even complained that some products were even more expensive.

    Minister of Agriculture Sergo Karapetyan, who attended the fair,
    said profiteers had penetrated into the area early in the morning to
    buy first hand products from villagers.

    With most of the pavilions left empty an hour after the opening,
    the minister had no other choice but to follow that the profiteers do
    not occupy the area to sell purchased products for higher prices. He
    approached everyone standing behind pavilions to know there they
    came from.

    The fair will operate every Sunday. Starting from next week, students
    from the Agricultural Academy will keep the area under surveillance.
