Uzbekistan has capped the price increase of diesel fuel for farmers.
The Committee for the Development of Competition and Consumer Rights Protection in Uzbekistan has implemented a cap on the price increase of diesel fuel at the Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange (UzRCE). This was announced by the committee's spokesperson, Otbek Usmanov.

The measure aims to stabilize diesel fuel prices during the planting season. Starting from February 26, a separate trading section has been established on the exchange where farming enterprises can purchase fuel in small batches. The maximum price increase limit in this section is set at 5% of the initial exchange price.
"This will allow farmers to buy diesel fuel at affordable prices and ensure stability during the active agricultural work period," noted Usmanov.
The price increase restriction applies exclusively to farming enterprises. Other market participants will be able to trade diesel fuel under general conditions.
