This was announced by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
«The government has already approved the relevant concept, and now a list of concrete steps has been prepared for its implementation,» he said at an operational meeting with deputy prime ministers.
The head of government recalled that the key task of the Russian president this year is to increase the production and supply of high-quality and affordable food products.
According to Mishustin, the emergence of wholesale markets will bring agricultural producers closer to buyers.
«This will provide a wide range of products for everyone, because in addition to wholesale, conditions will be created for retail trade,» he added.
Mishustin noted that it is necessary to prepare changes to the legislation, as well as to make changes to national standards. The prime minister instructed Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko together with the Ministry of Industry and Trade to organize this work and take over the implementation of changes under personal control, reports RIA Novosti.
