Kyrgyzstan Boosts Agricultural Exports to 34 Billion Soms

The 2024 harvesting campaign in Kyrgyzstan has come to a close, revealing a significant increase in the production of key agricultural crops, as reported by the press service of the National Statistical Committee.

The Ministry of Agriculture stated that the gross grain harvest, excluding grain legumes, rice, and buckwheat, reached 2.1 million tons, marking a 28.4 percent increase compared to the previous year. Grain yields also saw a significant improvement, rising to 35 centners per hectare from 27.5 centners per hectare in 2023.

The production of wheat and barley showed the most impressive results, with wheat harvest increasing by 51 percent to 664,800 tons and barley by 59.9 percent to 611,100 tons. This growth was attributed to both an expansion of crop acreage and an increase in productivity.

Notably, the sugar beet harvest set a record at 957,400 tons, marking a 54.2 percent increase, with a yield of 710 centners per hectare. Additionally, the harvest of melons, fruit and berries, and oilseeds saw significant increases.

However, challenges were faced with the potato, tobacco, and raw cotton harvests, which saw decreases due to reduced crop acreage.

During the AgroDialogue 2025 forum in Bishkek, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Bakyt Torobaev highlighted that agricultural product volume in 2024 reached 395.6 billion soms, with a 6.3 percent growth compared to 2023. The growth was attributed to increased production in crop farming and livestock breeding.

Torobaev noted that agricultural exports reached 34.1 billion soms, with more than 60 types of products being exported to 80 countries worldwide. He emphasized the importance of introducing innovations, increasing processing, and expanding export potential to continue the success of the agricultural sector in Kyrgyzstan.

The achievements of 2024, including record yields and export growth, lay the foundation for reaching new goals in the agricultural industry of Kyrgyzstan.
