As previously reported, the accounting system for agricultural products is being changed. Under the new system, every litre of milk and every egg produced by a farmer will be recorded.
“Operative Information Center-OMM” reports that Public Television has prepared a report on the issue.
It was noted that the system will account not only for products citizens purchase for sale, but also for those intended for their personal use.
Farmers are concerned that the new accounting rules could eventually lead to tax obligations.
“If we live in a village, we have to keep chickens and livestock because that is how we make a living. Of course, I will keep five animals and two chickens. But I cannot afford to pay tax on them; I do not have the means,” farm owner Khuraman Sariyeva said.
Experts say the aim of collecting this information is to improve the accuracy of statistical indicators used to manage the economy.
