Sugar wholesale suppliers deny price collusion

Today Deputy Governor of East Kazakhstan Nurlybek Sherubaev has held a meeting with the heads of sugar supply companies. According to one of the suppliers, Igor Antonenko,‘ sugar demand increased by almost 5 times.To stop speculative actions, we have to restrict the sale of sugar, and now we only sell 50 kilograms in one hand. Our reserves will finish in 1.5-2 months.' The ‘Bokov' entrepreneur limited sale of sugar to 25 kg, because this company stocks are still less. There is one more explanation of sugar stir - wholesalers temporary stopped sugar delivery to the buyers' homes because they fail to serve the sharply increased number of customers. But the key point is that sugar price in Ust - Kamenogorsk stays the same - 160 tenge /1 kg. The cost of refined sugar is from 220 to 260 tenge for one pack.
