Erbol Tazhurakov

Erbol Tazhurakov is the Vice Minister of Agriculture in Kazakhstan, known for addressing the nation's agricultural policies and issues related to food supply. He has recently been in the news discussing the rising prices of potatoes in Kazakhstan, particularly in response to public concerns about the cost of young potatoes surpassing that of oranges. Tazhurakov explained that the increase in prices is primarily due to the reliance on imported potatoes during the spring months, as the local harvest does not peak until later in the year. His insights shed light on the agricultural market dynamics and the challenges faced by local producers.
