North Ossetia has entered a “sweet” season - garden strawberries (strawberries) are actively ripening in local fields, and farmers in orderly rows begin to collect a generous berry crop.
It is known that today in the North Ossetian open spaces berry fields are located in territories with a total area of fifty-four and a half hectares. The “share” of strawberries in these fields is seventeen hectares.
Over the next two weeks, hundreds of Ossetian farmers will pick strawberries and sell them on the local and national market at an affordable price. Based on the data shared by analysts of the agro-industrial complex of the republic, at the end of the 2019 harvest season, at least fifteen tons of garden strawberries will be harvested.
An impressive part of this harvest will be realized as part of the fair days, which will be held in North Ossetia every week on the first kilometer of the Arkhonskaya highway (the landmark is the Delikat shopping center).
The start of the fair period is June 1, 2019. From this day every Saturday at nine in the morning, the fair complex will start with sales of farm products made by Ossetian agricultural producers.Such information was shared by the head of the administration of North Ossetia, Vyacheslav Bitarov, who initiated the holding of farmers' fairs together with representatives of the regional Ministry of Agriculture.
