The Second Latvian Market Conference Will Take Place in Kalnciema Quarter

On Thursday, November 12th, the second Latvian Market Conference will take place in Riga, in the Kalnciema Quarter. As SMG informed, the communication manager of Kalnciema Quarter and Agenskalns Market, Darja Upmane, stated that the main goal of the conference is to bring together market organizers, small producers, as well as representatives of local and state institutions, to listen to each other, get to know one another, and find the next concrete steps for the development of Latvian markets through discussions.

"The market culture in Latvia is very ancient, and it is our connection to local taste skills and traditions. We will hear various experience stories, and we will also listen to presentations about the role of markets in creating public communities and in the food cycle, as markets are an important link in short food supply chains.

We will also discuss markets as an opportunity for small producers, what is already working, and what we can improve. Each of us works in our own part of Latvia daily, and there is no common space to talk about all this, so such meetings from all sides that form the Latvian market are extremely important."

Thus said Darja Upmane, the communication manager of Kalnciema Quarter and Agenskalns Market. The conference will also be available for viewing live on social media platforms.
