False and unfounded information about the price of potatoes is still circulating, and the availability, cost and quality of the product are being hotly debated. However, according to official data, the stock of products is sufficient. The current hype is caused solely by the difference between the market price of potatoes and the price under the stabilization program."Irtysh" SEC" JSC regularly supplies socially significant vegetable products, including potatoes, to trade pavilions within the framework of the stabilization program. Today, the price of socially significant vegetables is stable: potatoes, carrots and cabbage are traded at 125 tenge per kilogram, and onions - at 130 tenge.Under the contract concluded between the "Altai" Wholesale and Distribution Center and "Irtysh" SEC" JSC, a volume of 5,500 tons of potatoes was contracted from November 1, 2024 to May 1, 2025. Today, there is about half of this volume in the stock, which is enough until the end of the contract. And in the off-season period (June-July), a new contract is concluded annually for early-ripening vegetables.Within the framework of the stabilization program, not only potatoes were purchased, but also carrots, onions and cabbage, which are included in the category of socially significant products. The volume of products for which contracts were concluded: carrots - 1,300 tons, onions - 900 tons, cabbage - 1,350 tons.In the East of the country, the price stabilization program is operating in normal mode. Products are delivered and distributed to 17 trade pavilions of "Irtysh" SEC" JSC on a daily basis based on requests from sellers. However, it should be noted that these trade stalls are not intended for wholesale trade. Potatoes are sold only at retail, and in order to prevent speculation, sales in bags are not carried out. In addition, about 30 stores in the regional center, within the framework of a memorandum concluded with "Irtysh" SEC" JSC, are selling four types of socially significant products at the same prices as the SEC pavilions. It is worth noting that the number of stores under these memorandums may decrease or increase at any time.According to experts, the main reason for the hype in East Kazakhstan is not a shortage of potatoes, but the price difference. If potatoes are sold at 125 tenge/kg in the pavilions of the social corporation, the price in the open market ranges from 250-350 tenge/kg. Because of this, the demand for cheap potatoes is increasing. However, as experience shows, this is a temporary phenomenon due to seasonal price fluctuations. Previously, a similar situation occurred for products such as sugar, buckwheat, and eggs.It should be noted that when concluding the contract, specialists, relying on the experience of previous years, left the price and volume of production unchanged. This decision was approved by the "East Kazakhstan Regional Commission for Stabilization of Prices for Socially Important Food Products". However, currently the difference between the price of social potatoes and market potatoes is causing a hype. Since the most affordable price in the region is 125 tenge/kg, the delivered products are selling out faster than usual. Experts say that the next delivery of potatoes, which were sold out in the morning, should be considered tomorrow.In general, since the purchase price and cost of potatoes have increased in all regions, the interest of large wholesalers in products at social prices has also increased. However, the main task of JSC "Irtysh" SEC" is not to create competition for businesses in the region, but, on the contrary, to stabilize prices during seasonal fluctuations and ensure the availability of socially significant products to the population, without turning the market into a monopoly.The main task at the present stage is also this - to ensure the availability of potatoes to the population. The delivery process is carried out on the basis of an agreement between the SEC and the "Altai" KTO. In turn, the "Altai" center has concluded a contract with "Agrofirma Prirechnoye" LLP for 2024-2025. Thus, currently potatoes are being delivered to Ust-Kamenogorsk from the Abai region. Given the distance and weather conditions, in order to prevent the products from freezing in winter, deliveries are not carried out by ordinary large and capacious trucks. 1-2 small trucks arrive in the regional center per day. They are equipped with a heat regulator and a special ventilation system, and their capacity is 5-10 tons.Since the area of ​​​​the trading pavilions is 18 m², it is impossible to "fill" them with potatoes alone. There are other products sold by the entrepreneur in the pavilions. The main task within the framework of the stabilization program is to maintain stable prices and ensure the uninterrupted availability of potatoes until the end of the contract (May 2025).Specialists of JSC "Irtysh" SEC" stated that their obligations under the current contract will be fully fulfilled, and since there is sufficient stock in the warehouse, product deliveries will be carried out daily.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimvko/press/news/details/938524

Today, 11 projects are being developed in Alatau in the fields of tourism, logistics, industry, education and business. Large investment projects are planned in the city, and preliminary agreements on their placement have been made taking into account engineering structures and protective zones. It is envisaged to make adjustments to the city's territorial planning in connection with sanitary zones, efficient use of industrial sites and environmental impact. In this regard, the Vice Prime Minister met with business representatives and design institutes and listened to proposals for amendments to the city's General Plan."The construction of the new Alatau city should be convenient, safe, technologically advanced and environmentally friendly. Alatau can become an example of a modern urban center. It is necessary to ensure that urban planning is modern, based on international standards. I have instructed to review the issues of placing investment projects in the city within a month in accordance with the agreements concluded with investors. All relevant ministries should accelerate the process and make changes to the master plan by May,” Kanat Bozumbayev said.Then, a meeting of the Project Office was held in Alatau, which was attended by the vice ministers of the national economy, justice, agriculture, transport, construction and infrastructure, labor and social protection of the population. The participants reported on the work on the implementation of EPC conditions and mechanisms for using financing instruments for construction. The issues of agricultural lands, the relocation of the Almaty Zoo to the Alatau territory, as well as the establishment of an experimental environment and a site for an air taxi were considered.In order to make the city more attractive and strengthen human resources, it was proposed to increase the mortgage lending limit for specialists in Alatau.Let us recall that since 2024, the Almaty region akimat and Otbasy Bank JSC have jointly launched the Almaty Youth preferential mortgage lending program for young people under 35 years of age. Last year, 500 million tenge was allocated for this program from the local budget, and another 500 million tenge was financed by the bank. This allowed 55 families to be provided with housing. Currently, 38 applicants have received the keys to their apartments.Following the results of the last design office, Kanat Bozumbayev warned state bodies about the volume of work to be done and reminded that officials of ministries and akimats bear personal responsibility for failure to fulfill tasks on time. Families raising single-parent and disabled children in the Koktem housing complex in Ust-Kamenogorsk were ceremoniously handed over apartment keys. On a sunny day with white snow and light pouring from the sky, the joy of those who received housing knew no bounds.Ust-Kamenogorsk residents, who have been waiting in line for housing for many years, were congratulated by the city's mayor, Almat Akishov, and expressed his best wishes.— We are currently seeing the benefits of the "Housing the Population" program, which is being implemented at the initiative of the Head of State. This is the only opportunity for many of our citizens to have housing. At the initiative of the President and with the support of the regional akim, 20 families are now in housing. May your new homes be filled with joy and happiness, and may you have many happy days. Raise a good generation and contribute to the welfare of the country. Congratulations on your new homes! - said the akim of Ust-Kamenogorsk, Almat Akishov.The mayor of the city noted that 200 families will be provided with apartments this year, and this figure will not decrease next year.Yermek Khadzhi Mukatayev, who headed the Khalifa Altai mosque in Ust-Kamenogorsk for ten years, was recently appointed deputy chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan and deputy mufti. He specially congratulated the owners of the new homes:— During my ten years of service, I have seen how Ust-Kamenogorsk has developed and become more beautiful. Today we are also witnesses of a good event. I would like to express my gratitude to the regional and city authorities for conveying the instructions of the Head of State to the people and effectively implementing them. Congratulations on your new homes! May our country develop and prosper! We always wish our people spiritual and economic prosperity, - said Yermek Mukataev.One of the lucky ones who received housing is Sagymgul Baizhumanova, who has been on the waiting list for 17 years and is raising her son with a disability of the first group.- My joy knows no bounds! We have been waiting for this moment for many years. Thank you to our President and all the leaders who participated!
