Kyrgyzstan has lifted the ban on import of fresh chicken eggs

From September 3, 2024 in Kyrgyzstan the ban on import of fresh chicken eggs, introduced by the decree from June 5, 2024, is canceled. This decision was made by the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry based on the appeal of the Association of Poultry Farmers of Kyrgyzstan.

The initial ban was aimed at supporting domestic producers and ensuring food security of the country. As a result of the temporary restriction, domestic poultry enterprises significantly increased their production of chicken eggs and improved their competitiveness compared to imported products.

During the period of the ban, the situation with chicken egg production in the country has improved significantly. Local producers are ready to compete with imported products both in terms of volume and prices, indicating that their production capacity has recovered and increased. They are now able to meet the needs of the domestic market on par with imported eggs.
