BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, August 18. Exports of livestock from Kyrgyzstan have dropped sharply in 2025 following measures introduced by the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry aimed at curbing unjustified increases in meat prices and ensuring stable supplies for the domestic market.
Data obtained by Trend from the Ministry shows that from January
through August of the current fiscal year, Kyrgyzstan has
successfully executed the exportation of 30,493 bovine specimens,
31,781 ovine and caprine entities, and 1,636 equine individuals.
The metrics are markedly diminished compared to the corresponding
timeframe in 2024, when the nation dispatched 77,907 bovines,
70,392 ovines and caprines, and 5,113 equines.
This indicates a year-over-year contraction in cattle exports by
47,414 head, a reduction in sheep and goat exports by 38,611 head,
and a decline in horse exports by 3,477 head. The ministry
underscored that the contraction in export metrics is a direct
corollary of governmental interventions aimed at stabilizing the
endogenous meat market.
