Chili pepper in the market of Tajikistan has risen in price by 5 times

With the onset of cold weather, prices for hot peppers in the trading network of Northern Tajikistan have jumped sharply, and farmers from neighboring regions of Uzbekistan did not fail to take advantage of this. They are increasing the supply of this product to Tajikistan, where it is sold at a price of 30 somoni ($ 2.65) per kg. At the end of last autumn, 1 kg of hot pepper in the markets and in the trade network of Tajikistan cost 4-5 somoni ($ 0.35-0.44). Now 1 kg of pepper grown in Tajikistan costs 20 somoni ($ 1.76). In the republic, the collection of hot peppers of the 2020 harvest has already been completed. In Tajikistan today it is not practiced to store this product in refrigerated rooms. It is because of this, as well as due to the fact that hot peppers grown in Tajikistan have basically already been sold, and by now there has been a shortage of this product in the local market, prices for it have skyrocketed.
