The Ministry of Economy and Commerce of Kyrgyzstan proposes a draft resolution on the approval of «Made in Kyrgyzstan» National Export Program for 2023-2026.

In order to create favorable conditions for supporting and promoting exports, the key tasks of the country are:

• Presence of a state institution that provides exporters with a wide range of financial and non-financial support measures;
• Providing comprehensive support to companies with the highest export potential by providing access to long-term and cheap credit resources and trade information;
• Solving the issues of development of the national quality infrastructure (standardization, metrology, conformity assessment, accreditation) and strengthening the mechanisms of support from the state to expand the laboratory testing and reference base by allocating a sufficient amount of financial resources from the state budget.

The developers hope to increase the volume of exports, financial flows and achieve a positive trade balance in terms of the commodity structure of exports:

• Textiles and garments, including traditional handicrafts and footwear;
• Finished products from fruits, vegetables;
• Finished products from nuts and beans;
• Finished dried products;
• Honey and bee products;
• Milk products;
• Meat and fish products;
• Jewelry;
• Soft drinks, including national ones.

At the same time, the draft program is focused on taking measures in such cross-sectors as export promotion, access to finance, trade facilitation and improvement of the national quality infrastructure.
