REGARDING POTATO PRICES IN THE REGION

Dear fellow citizens, as a result of monitoring and explanatory work carried out by the regional akimat, the Department of Trade and Consumer Rights Protection and the "Ulytau" SEC, the price of potatoes, a vegetable that is widely consumed by the population, has stabilized.

 

Currently, this type of vegetable is sold at the "Zhanuya" hypermarket in the Kengir settlement for 220 tenge, at the "Organic" JV in the city of Zhezkazgan for 217 tenge, at the "Samaz" supermarket for 220 tenge, and at the "Zhanai" and "Nurtai" supermarkets in the city of Satpayev for 218 tenge.

 

In addition, the "Ulytau" SEC is considering the supply of 38 tons of potatoes under a contract with "Aktogai Agro" LLP in Pavlodar. Currently, potatoes are being loaded onto trucks and transported to the regional center, Zhezkazgan. The potatoes delivered to the city will be sold to large retail outlets at 198 tenge, and will be sold to consumers on store shelves at 218 tenge.

 

Therefore, we ask the residents of the region to be understanding of the temporary increase in the cost of potatoes. We would like to inform you that local authorities are taking measures to stabilize prices and are conducting explanatory activities to prevent unjustified price increases.
