In the Jalilabad region, potatoes rot in the sown areas.
This was reported to the local Bureau of Report by farmers.
According to them, the decline in product prices in recent days has put them in a difficult position: “There is a lot of products, but there are no buyers. Potato harvesting continues. We are worried about the sharp drop in product prices and stagnant sales. weeks ago at 1 manat, is about 25-30 qepiks, and the sale of products at this price does not even cover the costs incurred.”
It should be noted that Jalilabad potatoes are mainly exported to the Russian Federation. In connection with the start of potato harvesting in various regions of Russia, the demand for local potatoes has decreased. According to experts, the creation of processing enterprises in the region can help overcome the existing difficulties in this area.
