Government Defines Market and Fair
On October 19 the Cabinet of Ministers introduced changes to the rules of trade, public catering, household and other services operating from April 3, 2014. The corresponding decision was adopted pursuant to orders of the President of Azerbaijan on January 16, 2014 on additional measures in improving agricultural and food products market activity.
The decision defines points of sale, including market, wholesale market, retail market, market of agricultural products, green market, farm shop, fair, and fair and sale of agricultural and food products. For example, a green market is a commercial property where the sale is carried out only for plants and products of plant and animal origin. At the same time, a green market should have a storage room, a laboratory and a private car park, as well as a place for the sale of certified ecological agricultural products.
Special distinction tables must be set in farm shops.
The decision gives the authority for the organization of trade fairs to local authorities. They prepare a special action plan for their organization. Fairs and sale of agricultural and food products are organized on the proposal of the Ministry of Agriculture on certain days (Saturday and Sunday, holidays and significant days). At the fairs there are scoreboards, which indicate the prices of products sold. These fairs are organized by the state budget. However, if the organizers of these fairs are individuals, they fund them. ---08D
