- During the meeting of the Committee of the Jogorku Kenesh dedicated to agricultural policy, water resources, ecology, and subsoil use, on February 9, 2026, Deputy Mahabat Mavlyanova noted that farmers face difficulties in obtaining loans for the development of organic agriculture.

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."
