"The situation in the world market makes an increase in the price of grain and flour inevitable in Azerbaijan."

, chairman of "Azad Iştehlakçılar" Public Union,

said this in his statement to APA.

Eyyub Huseynov said that the price of grain and grain products in Azerbaijan is not regulated by the state: "Azerbaijani market is also integrated into the world market, it is a part of the world market.

When the price of some goods increases, the Azerbaijani market is forced and condemned to react to it.

There are objective factors that may increase the price of some goods and products, this is expected.

Azerbaijan should also be ready for this.

There is also a problem with grain products."

The chairman of the "Free Consumers" Public Union considers it important to take into account a number of points: "Russia and Kazakhstan, the main grain exporters in the world, have set limits on sales abroad.

As a result of the war in Ukraine, problems have arisen in the grain export of this country.

Azerbaijan also imports grain, so as in other countries, an increase in the price of grain and flour seems inevitable.

Until now, the state is preventing this at the expense of subsidies, but the prolongation of the war in Ukraine will sooner or later affect the price."

However, Eyyub Huseynov urged not to panic: "Compared to the world market, there may be a very small increase in the price of grain and flour.

The government of Azerbaijan takes necessary measures so that there is no big increase in prices.

The country also has enough grain reserves.

However, since the Azerbaijani market is a part of the world market, the price of grain products, including flour, is expected to rise in the country.

The people should not panic and stockpile a lot of grain and flour.

When such cases occur, the grain and flour purchased spoils and turns into animal feed.

A small price increase in the price of grain, including flour, is expected in Azerbaijan, which is the demand of the market.

Consumers should also be ready for it."

He also urged consumers to reduce wastage: "We are among the nations that eat the most bread in the world."

People of many long-lived countries use less bread.

The people of Azerbaijan should also adapt to it.

There is no need to panic over a small price increase.

The government of Azerbaijan has taken all measures and is making sure that there is no shortage."

In his statement to APA, he said that Azerbaijan is not fully self-sufficient in grain: "Azerbaijan's land resources and climate conditions do not allow to obtain high quality productivity in all cultivated areas in our country.

This shows that our country will be dependent on foreign markets for grain, especially seed and fodder grain for many years.

Trends in the world show that the price of grain types is increasing day by day.

Cataclysms, political, economic, military crises fuel the price increase even more.

The price increase will probably continue for many years.

On the other hand, everyone knows that the government has tried to protect this sector with subsidies and subsidies for many years.

Because the population of Azerbaijan is one of the nations that consume the most grains, flour and flour products in the world.

Therefore, the increase in the price of grain in Azerbaijan can affect all consumers.

However, it is necessary to accept that the economy in the world, including Azerbaijan, is gradually becoming liberalized and developing more in accordance with the requirements of a free market economy.

This is very positive and everyone wishes.

However, certain risks also arise at this time.

These risks lead to the risks of all economic processes taking place in the world affecting citizens directly without the support filters of the state.

The current situation shows that the price of grain in the world has become too expensive.

Compared to the prices of one or two years ago, the price has increased many times.

Our country is dependent on imports both in terms of wheat for food and grain products for animals.

Therefore, it refers to flour and flour products,

it will result in an increase in the price of bread, which is especially consumed by the country's population.

It is inevitable."

Regarding the steps to be taken against the price increase, Emin Aliyev said that President Ilham Aliyev defined strategic goals in his last interview: "Involving about 100,000 hectares of land in the freed areas into crop rotation, in other areas of our country, new land areas will be cultivated based on the requirements of agrotechnical maintenance in accordance with the requirements of the modern era. determined targets related to involvement in the cultivation of products.

This will reduce and minimize our country's dependence on foreign countries in the future.

On the other hand, there are food and health issues.

Eating flour and flour products poses health risks, according to relevant experts.

In this regard, our people should refrain from using flour and flour products too much, and the weight of these products in their daily diet should be reduced."
