Purchasing Fresh Produce from Local Farmers in Astana: A Guide
In honor of Victory Day, a grand agricultural extravaganza is set to light up the capital on May 10 and 11, according to Liter.kz. The event, organized by the city's administrative body (akimat), will stretch over two days with a plethora of local goods on display.
The fair will be an agricultural bonanza, offering a smorgasbord of produce, meats, pastries, and other delightful items from producers across Kazakhstan. From crisp fruits and veggies to freshly baked breads and dairy products, this fair promises a gastronomic treat for all.
The fair has chosen the Koktal shopping and entertainment center, 12a, Nurgyzy Tlendiyev Avenue as its temporary abode, hosting visitors from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM both days.
Interestingly, another agricultural fair is already in full swing in the capital, located at 23, Beibarys Sulton Street (right opposite the "Rio-de-Janeiro" residential complex). This fair welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
To reach these agricultural wonderlands, simply hop aboard buses No. 2, 32, 49, 50, or 73, which ply regularly near both fair venues, making it a breeze to access the events.
While exploring the agricultural fairs, remember that Kazakhstan's agricultural sector plays a significant role in the country's economy. For instance, North Kazakhstan plans to sow over 4.4 million hectares in 2025[1]. So, attending these fairs is not just a fun experience, but also an opportunity to learn about the region's agricultural pursuits. But, do verify all details from official sources for the most accurate information. Happy exploring!
