OREANDA-NEWS. August 11, 2011. Establishment of network wholesale markets of agricultural products will not only guarantee the availability of high quality and affordable food, but also provide stable returns to agricultural producers. The Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Mykola Prysyazhnyuk announced during the review the construction of the wholesale market "masters" in Donetsk region.

According to the Head of Ministry, the wholesale market should perform multiple functions. "On the one hand, we must offer a good price to producer, whose goods are buying up the brokers too cheaply now. On the other hand - we have to ensure populations products at optimal prices", - the Minister reported.

Wholesale markets of agricultural products can simultaneously solve both these problems. "Wholesale markets must be regional distribution centers that will collect at one place all the producers and all consumers. But do not confuse wholesale markets and bazaars. The main buyers on wholesale markets will be retailers and catering establishments", - Prysyaznyuk explained.
