The high plateaus of the country and the absence of large industrial enterprises allow organic production to be of high quality.
Objectives: the Chinese market and the markets of other countries of the EEA (Eurasian Economic Union).
At an intergovernmental meeting between the Kyrgyz authorities and the Chinese authorities, the Minister of Economy said that the country could increase the volume of exports of agricultural products to other countries of the EEA (market 170 million persons) and to China.
Export of Kyrgyz production to China increased by 88.3% in 2016 and China could quickly become the customer No. 1 country currently exporting most of its products to Russia and Kazakshtan. China is the closest neighbor of Kyrgyzstan, its consumption increases and the demand for high quality products as well.
The two countries should strengthen their trade agreements. Kyrgyzstan annually produces 800,000 tons of Fruits & Vegetables, agriculture represents 14% of GDP.
