"Holidays are approaching, and Christmas markets organized by municipalities are popular among citizens. We can see that Penza farmers keep prices of vegetables, eggs and poultry similar to those last year. It is necessary to control the cost of production in such a way that in the period of high demand there is no artificial overstatement of prices," he said during the visit of the market in Popova street on Saturday, December 22.

According to the press service of the City Hall, on December 31 municipal Christmas markets will be open until 15.00, and on January 1-2 they will be closed.
