In the first eight months of 2026, Kyrgyzstan purchased 9.5 thousand tons of dried legume vegetables worth $3.7 million. This is 42.3% less by volume than during the same period in 2025, when 16.4 thousand tons of products worth $6 million were imported into the country.
Changes in supplier structure
Despite the overall decline in imports, the geography of supplies has undergone changes. Kazakhstan remains the main partner, accounting for 59.5% of the total purchase volume, although volumes from this country have noticeably decreased compared to last year. Meanwhile, an increase in supplies from Russia and Uzbekistan is observed.
Import volumes by key countries
New trade directions were also recorded this year: 136.1 tons were imported from China and 68.9 tons from Afghanistan, whereas no supplies from these states were noted last year. At the same time, imports from the USA have almost disappeared, decreasing from 441.1 tons to just 1.1 tons.
