In 2018, Kyrgyzstan imported 241 thsd tonnes of wheat, reported the Minister of Agriculture, Food Industry and Land Reclamation of the Kyrgyz Republic, Nurbek Murashev.
According to him, Kyrgyz wheat covers 50-55% only of the domestic demand. The country imports the remaining grain volumes to complete the demand.
As a reminder, in 2019 Kyrgyzstan will somewhat increase the planted areas under agricultural crops.
