During operational meeting on the 18th of August the Head of City Administration Oleg Kondrahsev gave an order to Department of Economic Development to decrease dependence from foreign suppliers. This information was provided by “Vremya N” informational agency. He paid attention to the fact that the biggest product supplier Single center of municipal contracts totally depends on foreign suppliers. About 70% of all fruits and vegetables are supplied by foreign producers. Such situation is unacceptable. The majority of food products which are supplied to educational institutions must be Russian. That is why Kondrashev ordered to control the product line of the Center in order to leave only irreplaceable foreign products. All other foreign products must be replaced by Russian alternatives. The monitoring and control of foreign product prices has already been discussed by local authorities. This is due to sanctions and agreements with new suppliers.
