Astana is carrying out systematic work to stabilize prices of socially significant food products and to prevent their unjustified increase.Within the framework of the revolving mechanism, about 35 thousand tons of food products have been contracted. Special attention is given to vegetable products. In particular, forward contracts have been concluded directly with producers from Pavlodar, Karaganda, and Turkestan regions under the “from field to shelf” principle for the supply of around 20 thousand tons.Agreements have also been reached with producers of grocery, dairy, and meat products from Akmola, Kyzylorda, Kostanay, and Aktobe regions for about 15 thousand tons of goods. More than 120 retail outlets in the capital are involved in the distribution of these products. The Regional Commission for Investigating Intermediary Pricing Schemes in food products is actively operating. This year, 69 meetings have been held, during which the Department of Trade and Consumer Protection identified 115 cases of excessive trade markups, issuing 19 warnings and imposing 96 administrative penalties totaling 2.2 million tenge.Agricultural fairs, traditionally held annually with the participation of producers from across the country, continue to play an important role in supplying the capital’s market with fresh and affordable products. A key feature of the fairs is that goods are sold directly by farmers. This year, the fairs are being held every weekend from August 30 to October 26, with participation from 17 regions of the republic. The fairs are located at 1 Karkaraly Highway (opposite the “Kazanat” racetrack).For the convenience of residents and visitors, bus routes No. 18, 37, and 303 operate to the fairgrounds. The implementation of these initiatives will ensure the affordability of food products for Astana residents and make a significant contribution to maintaining the stability of the city’s food market.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana-uir/press/news/details/1071669?lang=kk
