tert.am
21:20 - 23.12.12
An active sale was under way today at the newly opened agricultural
products' fair in Yerevan Saryan park. The buyers are neither pleased
nor dissatisfied with the prices and service.
Speaking to Tert.am one of the farmers from Kotayk province said they
are very pleased with the opening of the fair. `We did not enjoy such
freedom for about 20 years. Now we have good conditions and I am very
thankful to the organizers who initiated such fair,' he said, adding
that he would like such fairs be organized in all the districts of the
capital.
The majority of the purchasers does not complain of prices, saying it
is much easier to trade with villagers as they often come to consent
over prices. `The prices do not differ much from the market ones but
it is much easier with farmers as they make discounts unlike in
shops,' one of the buyers said, speaking to Tert.am.
Another purchaser said even if there is no difference in prices it is
preferable to buy from farmers as their products are fresher.
Robert Makaryan, deputy minister of agriculture, who has visited the
fair said, `While establishing the fairs we had two goals, first to
give farmers an opportunity to sell their products without resellers
and without additional expenses and secondly, afford people an
opportunity to buy fresh products.'
The new fair is intended for 150 sellers. The farmers initially order
the places through Provincial Centers of Agricultural Support, which
in their turn present the lists to the ministry.
