Agricultural producers could sell their products at famers’ markets in the districts of Chisinau each Saturday of October and November starting with October 13, at 9am, IPN reports.

In Râșcani district, the famers’ market will be set up on Andrei Doga St, not far from the sports complex “Manej”. In Buicani district, the agricultural producers are expected at 27A Ioana Radu St, near the Dendrariu Park. Another famers’ market will be available in the Telecentru quarter, near the bridge.

“By these famers’ markets, we aim to help the producers to sell their products at reasonable prices directly to the public,” Minister of Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment Nicolae Ciubuc stated in a press briefing.

The official said the agricultural markets are now full of intermediaries who buy products from famers at derisory prices. As the farmers have limited access to agricultural markets, they face serious problems in selling their products.

Those who will sell at the farmers’ markets will not pay taxes, but will have to prove by documents that they are agricultural producers, not intermediaries.
