Residents of the Turkmen regions are also experiencing problems with buying flour in state stores. Residents of the areas of Bayramali, Garagum, Yoloten, Sakar-chege, Murghab, Mary region were able to buy a standard amount of flour for the month of March only in mid-April. The norm for April, according to the sellers, will start to be issued no earlier than June, when the harvest of the new harvest begins.

The norm in this region is 5 kilograms of domestic flour per person per month and costs 1 manat ($ 0.29) per kilogram. Last year, stores sold 6 kilograms per person. According to residents, if the family has only small children, then this amount is enough, if there are a lot of teenagers, then you have to buy more flour in the markets and in private stores.

Prices for flour in bazaars and in private stores have increased significantly. If in January-February a 50-pound bag of flour cost about $ 29-44 (100-150 manat), now its price starts at $ 61.49 (210 manat).
