During 2010, all categories of farms produced 3,000 tons of honey or 300 tons more than in 2009. Growth was reported practically in all sub-sectors of agriculture, Isroilov said.
On the prices for local farm produce, the deputy minister noted that the farm produce prices had been affected by increasing fuel prices. Besides, inflation for 2010 stood at 9.8 percent.
