Indykpol could enter conflict with local traders over new wholesale center

Indykpol, in conjunction with Macro Cash and Carry, is planning to construct a wholesale center in Olsztyn at an estimated cost of zl. 65 million. "We h ave requested planning permission from the city council to build premises a round 2,000 sq.m. Should this be accepted, the center may be ready by next year," said spokesperson for Indykpol Krystyna Szczepkowska. An analysis ma de by Gdansk-based Eurotest Institute on the investment showed that it would enhance the market for customers and reduce unemployment in the area, but l ocal traders are strongly opposed to it. Meanwhile, Indykpol, seeking to in crease its exports, is currently negotiating on production cooperation with a large plant in Russia, presumably in the Kaliningrad region. (Rzeczpospol ita, p.
