In response to crop losses and frozen stocks due to extreme weather conditions, several CIS member states, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, have imposed export bans on certain vegetables, including onions, to stabilize domestic prices and availability.

The situation underscores the importance of adaptive supply chain strategies and international cooperation to mitigate the effects of adverse weather and ensure food security.
