Midkhat Shagiakhmetov: Today, the need for work on the site of the Republican Marketing Center is increasing many times

Revitalization of the Republican Marketing Center must be taken under special control. This was announced by the Minister of Economy of Tatarstan Midkhat Shagiakhmetov at a meeting with the heads of regions on implementation of the plan for the sustainable development of the economy of the Republic. The event was held in a videoconference mode with participation of urban districts and municipal districts. Reports to the working group were presented by: Buinskiy, Drozhzhanovskiy and Laishevskiy districts. Another hot topic of discussion was the unjustified rise in prices for a number of food products.

At a Saturday videoconference meeting, the President of the Republic instructed the members of the working group to closely monitor the unjustified increase in prices for food and medicine. In this connection, the municipalities in their reports dwelt in detail not only on the prices of goods, but also on analysis of factors affecting growth and, ultimately, the formation of prices, as well as the measures taken for quick reaction.

So, in the Buinskiy district, based on a survey of small businesses in the field of trade for price increases, it was possible to find out that their increase was facilitated by an increase in the trade mark-up by more than 5% from a large supplier. In turn, no price increase was recorded in the Laishevskiy district, due to the location of a number of logistics hubs of large grocery retailers on its territory.

The work of the Republican Marketing Center was reported in detail by its Head, General Director of the Agency for State Order of the Republic of Tatarstan, Yakov Geller. “Dozens of enterprises of the Republic today were able to replace products and raw materials that were previously purchased outside Tatarstan. This happened due to the placement of orders by companies on procurement module of the Republican Marketing Center”, he said.

Currently, 457 enterprises-customers and buyers from the regions of the Republic are registered on the Center’s platform. The largest number of sellers who received revenue on resources of the Center, not counting large cities, are representatives of the Agryzskiy, Kukmorskiy and Aktanyshskiy districts. In less than 4 months of 2020, 1,062 republican suppliers, thanks to deliveries in the procurement module of the Center, earned about 7 billion rubles.

In order to enhance the interaction of Tatarstan manufacturers and suppliers in the context of the crisis caused by the coronavirus, employees of the Ministry of Economy together with the Agency for State Order of the Republic conduct training webinars on organization of work on the procurement module of the Marketing Center. Webinars take place every Thursday at 3:30 p.m. To participate, you must register here.

Tomorrow, reports will be delivered by the Nurlatskiy, Sarmanovskiy and Tetyushskiy districts.
