“I do not exclude the possibility that the emergence of this eco-market will very seriously change our understanding of the market as such, will return the understanding that exists in Western Europe, where the specialization of the market is exclusively related to food,” said S. Degtyar.
He also noted that about 400 retail spaces will be created at the market. “All places will be presented only to local agricultural producers, including small farms, bakeries, and enterprises specializing in collecting wild plants. All of them have already successfully proven themselves in terms of environmental friendliness among their customers,” S. Degtyar emphasized.
He also added that in the future it is possible to open similar eco-markets in Tobolsk and Yalutorovsk. “Now they are looking for plots of land,” said S. Degtyar.

This state support is quite significant, it includes compensation for the costs of engineering preparation - and this, as a rule, is up to 30% of the cost of the entire project,” noted Deputy Governor
