"We have also received works from brands we did not know anything about. These were new regional brands that we learned about through this contest. It turns out, we did more than it was planned (...) We learned about new brands that we have further included in "Halyk Markasy". (...) It is more than 300 brands" said president of ULPA Federation for the quality control system of Kazakhstani goods and services "Halyk Markasy" Rimma Tazhibaeva at the press conference.
