However, Deputy of the Jogorku Kenesh Shaiyrbek Tashiev expressed his dissatisfaction with this measure, stating that such a price is not a real support for farmers.
“This is not real support, as diesel is already being sold at a similar price at gas stations. Farmers can purchase fuel on their own at any gas station for their agricultural needs,” the deputy noted.
He also emphasized that there is a state enterprise in Kyrgyzstan, "Kyrgyzneftegaz," which could directly supply cheaper fuel to farmers in the southern regions.
“Currently, diesel fuel costs them 68 soms per liter. You could require them to sell fuel directly to farmers, as this is a state enterprise. They extract oil in our country and refine it into fuel, so this could be an advantage for our agrarians,” Tashiev added.
Additionally, the deputy mentioned the company "Junda," which, according to him, could provide the northern regions of the republic with the necessary fuel.
“As for the northern part of the country, there is the company 'Junda,' which produces fuel twice as much as 'Kyrgyzneftegaz.' This company could be required to supply farmers in the northern regions with fuel at a more favorable price,” he noted.
Tashiev also suggested that the Ministry of Agriculture should enter into contracts or agreements with these companies to provide farmers with fuel at reduced prices during the spring fieldwork period.
