In response to this statement, Abdibaeva emphasized: "Our natural milk is bought, and then it returns to us pasteurized at a price of 110 soms. The same approach is observed with Russia. This requires attention."
The Deputy Minister explained that Kazakhstan prefers to purchase finished products rather than raw materials, and pasteurization is necessary to prevent milk spoilage.
The deputy expressed dissatisfaction: "In our country, there is no milk, only powder. Our people consume powdered milk. It is important to create a commission to address this problem. If farmers opened a store in Bishkek, the demand would be high. We, city dwellers, do not even realize what we are drinking. At the same time, our environmentally friendly milk is being exported," she noted.
