It was determined that district governors will be personally responsible for curbing inflation in the region

The head of state noted that from now on, district governors will personally respond to curbing inflation.
In Bukhara, under the chairmanship of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, a meeting of video selectors has started on the issues of ensuring price stability by increasing food production and guaranteeing the population and economic sectors with energy resources.

The meeting focused on the situation of planting repeated crops. In July, the annual inflation rate was 8.9 percent, and in food products it was 10.7 percent. In this regard, the price of potatoes, onions, flour and oil products became cheaper compared to last year.

However, the price of carrots has increased up to 52% in some regions due to the lack of proper organization of repeated cropping; tomatoes doubled in price; the price of cucumbers increased by 1.7 times. In addition, only 44,000 hectares of potatoes were planted as a repeat crop in the republic.

It was noted at the meeting that from now on district governors will be personally responsible for curbing inflation in the region.

- Here I strictly warn the governors. Price control should not be at the expense of forcing entrepreneurs to sell their products at low prices. These works must be ensured only and only by increasing the number of repeated crops and increasing the volume of production, - said the head of state.
