"The growth is 102% if compared to the results of 2016," he specified at the meeting devoted to the results of work of the consumer market over the past year, which was held in the regional government on February 13.

Ivan Belozertsev noted that local goods are widely available in trade organizations including chain stores – about 460 supply agreements were concluded.

"Over 180 companies deliver products to enterprises of a trade area. Largely because of this, some of the lowest prices for socially important goods have been registered in our region. We occupy the 80th position among 85 constituent entities," the governor said.
