According to Urmat Takirov, Director of the Kyrgyz Export Center for Export Development and Promotion, the Kyrgyz authorities plan to launch a cost compensation program for exporters. The initiative is aimed at encouraging businesses to expand their sales geography.
How the support will affect the export business
Entrepreneurs will be reimbursed for part of the funds spent on obtaining international certificates, as well as on tests in foreign laboratories. Takirov explained that having such documents is one of the key requirements on the part of foreign buyers.
- Exports of food products may require standards such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000 or BRC.
According to Urmat Takirov, Director of the Kyrgyz Export Center for Export Development and Promotion, the certification process involves significant financial costs, which is often an obstacle for many enterprises. Therefore, in the opinion of experts, it is important that the state provides support.
The importance of international certificates
The Kyrgyz authorities expect that reimbursement of part of certification costs will demonstrate to entrepreneurs the value of this process and help them enter foreign markets.
