Who is Making Millions on Meat if Farmers Are Barely Surviving?

Friday, 21 November 2025, 14:21 Product prices remain high Agriculture in Kyrgyzstan does not always generate profit and is often associated with losses. This is how economist Iskender Sharsheev commented to Vesti.kg on the continuing rise in meat prices on the domestic market. “In 2016 I calculated the value chain of products produced in agriculture. And I found that it was loss-making and unprofitable, can you imagine? I travelled around Chui region, Talas region. I visited several regions. I met with people, looked at their calculations and found out that agriculture is far from always profitable. It is a very loss-making business,” he said. Since then, the cost of running farms, keeping livestock, feed and producing goods has only increased. “I have serious questions about how our population even manages to survive. Very often farming is a family business. A grandfather did it, then the father, the brother. All the funds that farmers have are tied up in turnover. The state has...

Will Businesses “Flee” from Kazakhstan to Kyrgyzstan?

Starting January 1, 2026, Kazakhstan will introduce a new Tax Code. It will bring numerous changes for businesses, including an increase in the VAT rate from 12% to 16%, higher excise taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and energy drinks, and much more. Because of this, there is a risk that many small and medium-sized enterprises may either close down or “relocate” to Kyrgyzstan. “Indeed, we have some of the lowest taxes in the Eurasian Economic Union. There are different taxation regimes. For e-commerce, it’s 2% plus social fund contributions. For trade, one can purchase a patent. For other types of activities, it’s 4% for non-cash payments, 6% for cash payments, and 8% when using cash registers,” economist Iskender Sharsheev told Vesti.kg. For this reason, many companies from Russia and other countries have already opened their representative offices in Kyrgyzstan. “The only obstacles sometimes come from local restrictions, which can create barriers to their continued operations. However, it’...

C5+1 summit

Economist Iskender Sharsheev told **Vesti.kg** that the remarkable success achieved by the countries during the November meeting in Washington was the result not only of the work of political leaders but also of teams of professionals. > “The United States is extremely interested in the market for rare earth minerals, which are abundant in the countries of Central Asia. Moreover, the participants of the *C5+1* summit have long-standing relations. American investments have been present in Kazakhstan for a long time — their total volume amounts to about 100 billion dollars. Uzbekistan will be able to realize its declared plans to attract 100 billion dollars in investments over 20 years. Kyrgyzstan, if it so wishes, can reach trade turnover with the U.S. in the tens of billions of dollars. It is worth adding that the current summit has brought relations to a new level, with a more pragmatic and civilized approach to investment, industrial development, and trade and logistics routes.
