Purchasing fresh produce from local farmers in Astana: A guide for consumers
A city-wide agricultural fair will be held in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, to commemorate International Children's Day on May 31 and June 1. According to the press service of the akimat, as reported by Liter.kz, the event will feature products from local farmers and producers from different regions across the country.
The fair will offer a wide array of items for purchase, including vegetables, fruits, meat, bakery and dairy products, pastries, natural juices, jams, and more at affordable prices. The event will take place at the Koktal shopping and entertainment center, located at 12a, Nurgyzy Tlendiyev Avenue, from 9:00 to 19:00 each day.
Of note, an agricultural fair is already ongoing at 23, Beibarys Sulton Street, opposite the Rio-de-Janeiro residential complex, and operates daily from 9:00 to 19:00.
For the convenience of visitors, several bus routes, namely No. 2, 32, 49, 50, and 73, pass near the fair, ensuring easy access to the event location.
As for the broader context, Kazakhstan is now collaborating with Turkish and Qatari partners to construct a large agro-industrial complex in Astana, which aims to boost food security and exports through high-tech agriculture. However, it is unclear if this project is directly connected to the city-wide agricultural fair mentioned in the current article.
Visitors eager to learn more about International Children's Day celebrations or other events in Astana are advised to consult local news outlets or event calendars for the latest updates.
The fair in Astana promises an extensive selection of food-and-drink items, such as vegetables, fruits, bakery products, and natural juices, making it an exciting addition to your lifestyle. After the event, you can take a look at home-and-garden products, which will most likely include a variety of jams and other crops, further enhancing your living space.
