The Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry has informed about the stable situation in the domestic food market.
According to the agency, the main factors affecting prices are external conditions — fluctuations in global prices for energy resources and food products, as well as disruptions in logistics chains and uncertainty in international markets.
Food Prices
For socially significant goods, such as flour, bread, milk, rice, sugar, pasta, and eggs, there has been no price increase since the beginning of the year.
Prices for sunflower oil have risen due to the increased cost of imported materials; however, no shortage is expected: insurance stocks have been created, and stabilization is anticipated after the new harvest.
As for meat (beef and lamb), the global trend of rising prices continues, but in Kyrgyzstan, prices are increasing at a moderate pace thanks to the measures being implemented.
Self-sufficiency as a foundation for stability
Domestic production fully meets the country's needs for key products, including potatoes, vegetables, melons, milk, sugar, meat, and eggs. This significantly reduces the risks of shortages even in the face of external shocks.
Key measures of the ministry:
Price control on meat: a temporary ban on the export of large and small cattle has been introduced, and targeted regulation is being implemented.
Ensuring stocks of vegetable oil: insurance stocks have been formed, and no shortage is expected.
Monitoring of socially significant goods: weekly monitoring of prices and stocks is being conducted, along with prompt responses to changes.
Support for local producers: conditions are being created to increase the volume of domestic production and reduce dependence on imports.
Control over markups: measures are being taken against unjustified markups and unfair market practices.
