According to Valiyev, such a decision was made at the meeting in the Cabinet of Ministers under the chairmanship of the head of presidents office Ramiz Mehdiyev. The meeting was held in connection with the raised prices in agricultural products over recent period.

Valiyev considers that the organization of fairs will allow to create a competitive situation and this will assist in decreasing the market prices in the country. The initial fairs are planned to be held in the districts of Baku.

During the meeting, one of the key reasons for the price raise was called the monopoly in the market in result of which the producers face difficulties to sell their products.
