Today, during a meeting, the President of Uzbekistan highlighted the issue of rising prices for essential food products, particularly meat and potatoes, instructing the Prosecutor General’s Office to strengthen monitoring and control in this area. Significant price increases for food items have been reported in several regions of the country, caused by shortcomings in stock reserves and supply chain management.
During the meeting, food security measures were critically assessed. In 18 districts and cities across the republic, disruptions in the supply of meat, potatoes, carrots, onions, and rice have been identified, negatively impacting pricing policies and causing an increase in costs for the public.
The President also noted that in the Syrdarya and Khorezm regions, as well as in Tashkent city, local budgets did not allocate funds for creating food reserves, worsening the situation.
To stabilize the market, the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Anti-Monopoly Committee, and other responsible agencies have been instructed to establish regional working groups. These groups will monitor stock levels, track price increases, and respond promptly to fluctuations in areas where the situation is particularly challenging. Additionally, regional and local authorities have been tasked with creating food reserves totaling 620,000 tons.
The President emphasized that food security remains a priority and stressed the need for prompt measures to curb rising food prices.
