DUSHANBE, July 9, 2013, Asia-Plus — The Dushanbe mayor’s office discussed issues related to regulation of prices for basic food products during the holy month of Ramadan at a July 8 meeting, presided over by Mayor Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloyev.
Shavkat Saidov, a spokesman for the Dushanbe mayor’s office, says market traders are recommended to curb prices for twelve food times during Ramadan.
“The mayor’s office recommends the traders to sell chicken meat produced by Fayzobod’s Murghi Hilol at 7.50 somoni per kilogram, beef at 29.00 per kilogram, lamb at 30.00 somoni per kilogram, 50-kilogram sack of extra wheat flour for 130.00 somoni, vegetable oil at 7.50 somoni per liter, domestic rice at 7.00 somoni per kilogram, sugar at up to 4.20 somoni per kilogram, milk at 3.50 to 4.50 somoni per liter, potatoes at 1.50 somoni per kilogram, carrots at 1.60 somoni per kilogram, onions at 0.65 somoni per kilogram, and eggs at 0.5 somoni per piece,” Saidov said.
These prices should remain intact during the holy month of Ramadan at all Dushanbe’s markets irrespective of forms of property.
The mayor also ordered heads of Dushanbe’s bazaars to organize farm produce fairs during Ramadan and give preference to persons selling their own products.
The mayor’s office also ordered the Dushanbe law enforcement agencies to control prices for the basic food items at the markets during Ramadan.
