Kazakhstan is facing a potato shortage, with nearly all reserves already sold and prices rising due to high demand and limited supplies. The country's Research Bureau on Grains and Oilseeds has reported significant pressure on prices in the potato market. The wholesale price of potatoes in Pavlodar, the main region, is between 75-100 tenge per 1 kg, and it is higher in other regions like Almaty and Kostanay due to increased demand and decreasing reserves. The onion market in the Zhambyl region is also under pressure, with prices rising due to high demand, and some producers in the Almaty region have halted sales due to decreasing reserves and increased production costs.
