In the Nookat district, which is the country's leader in apple production, there is a sharp drop in product prices. According to MP Ulanbek Zhaanbaev, gardeners and farmers are in despair due to the inability to sell their harvest at profitable prices.
Product prices and budget demands
Currently, product costs vary significantly depending on the quality of the fruit. At the same time, farmers are facing the problem of a lack of markets for surplus produce.
To solve the problem of overproduction, the MP proposed including the construction of a processing plant in the Nookat district in the 2027 budget. He appealed to the Ministry of Agriculture to provide for such expenditures in the agency's plans.
Healthcare issues
In addition to the agricultural issue, Ulanbek Zhaanbaev raised the problem of supplying the local hospital. In the district medical facility, supplies of free medicines from Kyrgyzpharmacy are being interrupted, forcing citizens to purchase medications themselves.
