In 2025, it plans to double its exports to 10 tons. In addition to America, the product will also be supplied to European countries and neighboring Uzbekistan.
The entry of Batken rice into international markets confirms that local producers are capable of manufacturing products that meet strict international standards. This success opens up new opportunities for the development of agriculture in Kyrgyzstan and strengthens the country's export potential.
Ak-Turpak is one of the leading rural areas in the Batken region, famous for its rice production and processing. The village of Min-Chinar is home to the Ak-Turpak Group, a company equipped with modern equipment for cleaning, drying, sorting, and packaging products.
Previously, rice production in the region was mainly focused on the domestic market, but thanks to the development of exports, cultivation volumes are growing, which has a positive impact on the local community's economy. The success of Ak-Turpak Group is an important step towards the integration of Kyrgyz agricultural products into world trade and an example for other producers.
