— Kuban makes one of the best agricultural products in Russia and the country knows it. Citizens of our country are ready to buy Kuban products. This year the record high harvest was collected and therefore the aim of authorities is to provide conditions for rural citizens that they could sell the harvest to their benefit. Today we need to create product elevators and through this system to develop agricultural product sales. We are to make our own processing capacities. The next step will be the creation of farmers’ unions which will make them even more economically stronger and prosperous. We have surprisingly rich region and the set tasks will be certainly solved, — Governor of Kuban Veniamin Kondratiev said when opening the fair.
“Kuban fair” takes place in Krasnodar for the sixth time. Ceremonial opening was also participated by Chairman of Krasnodar Region Legislative Assembly Vladimir Beketov and Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Russia Eugene Gromyko.
— By organization level “Kuban fair” becomes equal to agricultural exhibition “Golden autumn” held in the capital of Russia and by number of participants and guests it even exceeds the Moscow one. Status of the fair can be raised to at least interregional level, — Eugene Gromyko stated.
