“The stable operation of the food market and prevention of unreasonable growth in food prices are in one way or another controlled by a number of departments: the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Agency for Protection of Competition, and local authorities. However, they lack of coordination in their work. Kazakhstan is one of the few countries in the region where there are no program documents in the field of food security. Key indicators have not been set, including the permissible value of the share of food expenditures in household expenditures, ”Konurov said at the session of Majilis.
He pointed out that people in Kazakhstan spend more than half of their income on food.
