Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- In December 2020, the Federation of Consumer Rights Protection Societies of Uzbekistan carried out work to develop a calculation of the consumer basket in the Republic of Uzbekistan, taking into account statistical data, world experience and the results of test studies conducted by the method of social polling of the population.

As a result of the calculation, the amount of the consumer basket is approximately 2,157,000 soums. The consumer basket of grocery products includes bread products, cereals and legumes, meat products, vegetables, melons, fruits (including citrus fruits and berries), dairy products, as well as non-food products and services. 

Non-food items include medicines, cosmetics and household goods. Services include utilities, transportation costs and fees for additional training courses.

As a rule, the consumer basket is developed for three socio-demographic groups of the population - the able-bodied population, pensioners and children. 

The list of goods developed by the Federation is calculated based on the monthly consumption of the working-age population.
