According to data from the Kyzyl-Suu Kyrgyz Autonomous Region website, in the first nine months of 2026, the volume of imports and exports through the specified checkpoints exceeded 5.6 million tons. The increase amounted to 2.8 million tons compared to last year.
Reasons for growth and cargo structure
The main factor driving the increased demand for infrastructure services in Kyrgyzstan is the construction of the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway. This has led to an increase in cross-border traffic intensity.
Significant volumes of petroleum products, construction machinery, and materials are being transported through the Torugart checkpoint this year. A flow of electric vehicles being delivered from China to Central Asian countries is also noted.
