2. Agriculture is characterized by development of vegetable and potato growing, beans
growing, the cultivation of technical crops - cotton, tobacco, sugar beet and keeping
livestock.
Diverse natural and climatic conditions allow to cultivate heat-loving and cold-resistant
agricultural crops.
The availability of vast natural pastures/rangelands resulted in the development of
livestock, especially sheep, cattle and yak husbandry.
Agro-industrial complex of the Kyrgyz Republic
Agrarian sector is one of the key sectors in the country
economy:
Population employed in agriculture comprised about
60% or over 950 thousand people of the total number
of employed population in the country
Almost one fifth of added value in GDP is formed in
this sector of economy

3. Agro-industrial complex of the Kyrgyz Republic
The total area of agricultural land is over 10.8 million hectares.
including arable land - 1.2 million ha (11.1%), pastures - 9.6 million ha
(88.9%).

5. Fruit processing industry is one of the priority sectors and
export-oriented industries in the agricultural sector of the economy of
the Kyrgyz Republic.
Fruit and vegetable production is spread almost all over the
country, but the major producers are the Chui, Issyk-Kul, Jalal-Abad
and Osh provinces (oblasts), where there is a source of raw materials.

6. Agriculture of Kyrgyzstan today can export fruits and vegetables, potatoes, beans,
tobacco, cotton, livestock, meat, milk, wool, hides and skins. Kyrgyzstan has a climatic
advantage in cultivation of the above-mentioned agricultural products, the export of
which has a relatively high growth potential.
The products are supplied to Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Germany, France and
Turkey. Traditionally, products are supplied to Russia and Kazakhstan
Animal products also have high export potential, however export of the above is
hindered by the unfavorable epizootic situation in the country. In spite of this
significant success was achieved in export of cow milk to Kazakhstan, of meat to Iran
and Afghanistan.
The export potential of agricultural products

7. I • Weak sales system
II • Small-scale production
III
• Losses during transportation and storage
IV
• Weak infrastructure, lack of international
level laboratories
V
• Absence of sustainable connections of
processors and agricultural producers
Analysis of the problems of promotion of agricultural
products of the Kyrgyz Republic
