A food fair was held in the Chui region, according to information provided by the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic.
As noted by the ministry, the goods at the fair were offered at prices significantly lower than market rates. For example, meat was sold for as low as 680 soms per kilogram, potatoes for 37 soms, and onions for 16 soms.
