Starting today at 8:00 a.m., the agro-fairs of the Institute of Agropecuary Marketing (IMA) began at various points across the country. These events allow the population to purchase basic food basket products at more accessible prices. According to the entity, sales started at 8:00 a.m., the time at which they began to serve at the locations where these fairs will be held. The measure aims to facilitate more families' access to low-cost food directly from producers. At these IMA agro-fairs, citizens can typically find several agricultural products and basic foods that are part of daily consumption, but with prices more economical than in the regular market. Among the products that are usually offered are rice, vegetables, legumes, fruits, and other articles from the basic food basket, which allows many families to stock up without spending so much money. The IMA recommended that the population go early to the sales points, as the availability of some products may run out quickly due to high demand for cheap food.
