During the event, the current status and possible pathways for the development of organic farming in Kyrgyzstan were discussed, as well as the key challenges faced by farmers.
Mavlyanova emphasized the importance of organic agriculture for the health of the population and the sustainable future of the country.
She highlighted the need to support farmers engaged in this production, as well as to create an accessible certification system.
Experts noted that the country lacks a specialized body for the certification of organic products, and farmers are not sufficiently supported at the state level. One of the serious barriers to increasing production volume is soil degradation.
Meeting participants discussed the positive aspects of organic products for people's health, as well as mechanisms for marketing finished products in large local stores. In particular, it was suggested to create an organic cluster for the cultivation and processing of medicinal herbs.
