Moscow Hosts Food Festival and Prepares For Big Debut in World Market
The Golden Autumn, a grandiose food festival, concluded in Moscow. In 2.5 weeks, it's been visited by nearly 6 million people. This year, the event was truly grand, with 155 locations all over Moscow.
The participants of the festival were farmers and large-scale manufacturers from all over the country. For many of them, their products may appear on foreign supermarket shelves.
Dmitry Krasnov, Agricultural Ministry Director: "Each year, our fair becomes more active, and this year we pay more attention to exporting Russian-made produce. We deliberately invited around 100 foreign buyers, reps from foreign purchasing companies, who have already, based on preliminary results, signed contracts worth about 3 billion rubles".
Golden Autumn is just a part of the Moscow Seasons cycle. And now, the Capital is preparing for the winter's "Trip to Christmas."
