Import of any agricultural products from China into Kyrgyzstan was suspended until February 1, 2020. The cause is an outbreak of coronavirus in China. Director of the Plant Quarantine Department of Kyrgyzstan, Ilichbek Marsbek uulu, announced at a press conference today.
According to him, an analysis is currently underway. «If the complete ban on the import of certain products is introduced and this affects the food market, the Ministry of Agriculture will find other alternatives for import of products into Kyrgyzstan,» Ilichbek Marsbek uulu said.
