Social media users complain that previously a kilogram of chicken meat cost 23 somoni, but today prices have risen to 40-43 somoni, despite the increase in production in the country.
User Shohin Oblokulzoda wrote on his Facebook page: “Today (25.10.2022) in the markets and shops of the city of Panjakent, a pack of eggs costs 44 somoni, and the prices for chicken legs and other parts, which previously cost 23 somoni, have reached 40-43 somoni?”
In the comments under this post, residents from all corners of the country expressed dissatisfaction with the prices of chicken meat and eggs. Users questioned and demanded an explanation from the authorities as to why prices have risen, even though according to official data, the production of this type of product in the country is increasing daily.
Some users reported that when the authorities allowed the import of chicken eggs from Uzbekistan, the prices for eggs sharply decreased, but later officials imposed a ban on egg imports.
User Chovidi Ashti writes that there are 51 poultry enterprises operating in the Bobodjon Gafurov district, and in total, there are more than a hundred such enterprises in the Sughd region, but despite this, 1 egg costs 1 somoni 40 dirhams, meaning a pack of 30 eggs will cost 42 somoni.
“Prices for all products, whether meat, eggs, or food items, are set by the monopolists of the country. Everything is monopolized, and the monopolists listen to no one except their wives. There is no body in the country that could check the activities of the monopolists; rather, there is one, but they fear for their positions. One day all the chickens will come to the city and explain who is discrediting them?” – writes Lazat Dilovarzoda.
The YouTube channel “Economics TJ” on October 25 published prices for essential goods from the Dushanbe market “Safarion.” It is reported that a pack of 30 eggs costs 42-45 somoni, a bag of first-grade flour – 320-330 somoni, a 5-liter bottle of vegetable oil – 90-120 somoni, sugar – 11-12 somoni per kilogram, beef – 60-67 somoni, potatoes and onions – 4 somoni, carrots – 3.5 somoni.
