The State Statistics Committee emphasized that the fact that the minimum or maximum price for a particular product was registered on the dekhkan market of a certain region is not a reason to assume that the average price level in this region is also the minimum or maximum in the republic.

“The level of minimum and maximum prices in the dekhkan markets is influenced by assortment and territorial shifts, as well as the situation prevailing at the time of the survey. Prices are recorded at the time of the survey and may be subject to fluctuations when the time, date and place of data collection change,” the press service concluded.
