Garlic harvest is 20 thousand tonnes more than last year

Garlic production is growing annually in Kyrgyzstan. In 2024, the harvest reached the mark of more than 100 thousand tonnes.

In Kyrgyzstan, garlic production is growing annually from 69 thousand tonnes in 2019 and 81.6 thousand tonnes in 2023, in 2024 the harvest will reach more than 100 thousand tonnes.

The bulk of garlic in Kyrgyzstan is produced in the private sector - in farms up to 1 hectare. But there are several enterprises in Kyrgyzstan specialising in industrial garlic production.

The Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry specifies that garlic is native to Central Asia and there are indigenous varieties in Kyrgyzstan. Our high-altitude climate is well suited for garlic cultivation. Kyrgyz farmers can supply both the domestic market and also develop exports to other countries.
