AKIPRESS.COM -  The state bodies and development institutions are working to create an effective commodity distribution system in Kazakhstan, Minister of Trade and Integration of Kazakhstan Bakhyt Sultanov said at the session on stabilizing prices for socially important products.

“Within the framework of the commodity distribution infrastructure, 15 agro-logistics centers are planned to be built. The centers will be located near manufacturers and will collect, store and preprocess goods,” Sultanov said.

According to the minister, the formation and use of stabilization funds requires fundamental changes.

Public involvement is also needed to monitor prices and develop e-commerce, Sultanov noted.

In January 2020, a seasonal increase in prices by 0.3% was observed.
