Baku, December 22 /Xinhua/ — The 8th New Year's fair "From Village to City" has recently opened in Baku, with about 80 farmers from 35 regions of Azerbaijan participating.
The fair's main goals are to support the market entry of products produced by small and medium-sized farms, provide farmers with alternative distribution channels, and provide city residents with local, high-quality, and affordable produce in anticipation of the holidays.
"Prices here are much lower than at markets and supermarkets. Because we, as farmers, offer our products directly to customers," said beekeeper Gahraman Ibragimov.
G. Ibragimov brought four types of honey to the fair, including mountain and linden, as well as citrus fruits grown in his own garden – tangerines, oranges, kiwis, and lemons.
Another fair participant, Farid Gasanov, emphasizes the exclusivity and freshness of his products. Among them are Lankaran tea, local varieties of Hashimi rice, and specialty products like apple flour and pumpkin cubes.
"The advantages of our fair are high-quality products and low prices. We bring in products specifically from the countryside, many of which are difficult to find in regular city stores," noted F. Gasanov.
The fair, organized to mark World Azerbaijanis Solidarity Day (December 31) and the New Year, will run until December 30. More than 140 types of goods are on display.
