In response, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture Bakyt Torobaev stated that special preferential loans for organic agriculture are indeed being issued, but only two people have taken advantage of them.
The deputy expressed the opinion that government agencies do not pay enough attention to the development of this sector.
Torobaev added that in 2026, 41 billion soms are allocated for agricultural support.
The issue of loans was raised during the discussion of the draft resolution of the Jogorku Kenesh "On the progress of preparations for the spring field and economic works in the Kyrgyz Republic in 2026."
Reference:
According to the current legislation on organic production, organic products are defined as products produced in accordance with the rules of organic production and may also be referred to by terms such as "biological products," "ecological products," and other similar terms, abbreviated as "bio" or "eco."
One of the key provisions of the law is that organic production must be carried out without the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones, except for substances included in the list of permitted substances approved by the authorized state body in the field of organic production.
