First Vice Minister of Trade and Integration Arman Shakkaliyev met with the public of the North Kazakhstan region

As part of his working trip, Arman Shakkaliyev visited Raduga LLP, built in 2018 with state support. Modern vegetable storage provides high-quality and year-round storage of fruit and vegetable products. The maximum storage volume of fruit and vegetable products is 2120 tons.

Also, the First Vice-Minister got acquainted with the work of the enterprises "MASLO-DEL", LLP "Northern Plywood Mill", LLP "Rim-KazAgro", LLP "Petropavlovsk Electrotechnical Plant".

As the First Vice Minister noted, in general, the state, in order to prevent a shortage of basic foodstuffs and at the same time taking into account the interests of domestic business and the population, is gradually moving to "soft" regulation of price stabilization for socially important food products. This will encourage agricultural producers to independently stabilize prices for their products.

"Today, I visited the vegetable storage of Raduga LLP, where 2 thousand tons of fruit and vegetable products can be stored in specially equipped rooms all year round. This will avoid an increase in prices for vegetable crops in the off-season, as well as saturate the domestic market with vegetable products. It should be noted that this is the first vegetable storage facility in the region with climate control and the possibility of separate storage of fruit and vegetable products," Arman Shakkaliyev added.

At the RCE "Atameken" at a personal reception, the chairman of the branch of the RPC Sergey Martemyanov raised the issue of protecting the consumer market from dangerous and low-quality products. The First Vice-Minister answered this question, noting that for the immediate suppression of the circulation of unsafe products on the domestic market, the law, in accordance with the Business Code, provides for two rapid response measures: this is the withdrawal of unsafe products based on the results of confirmed tests, and the prohibition of the release of products into circulation that have not passed certification or for which there is no certificate.
