Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market in Kyrgyzstan underwent notable changes between 2018 and 2023, with market volume dropping from 146.5 thousand tonnes to 118.8 thousand tonnes by 2021 before recovering to 140.3 thousand tonnes in 2023. This volatility was closely tied to export dynamics, as overseas shipments of cabbage, especially Peking cabbage, surged to 20.7 thousand tonnes in 2021, reducing domestic availability.

The expansion of Peking cabbage cultivation, initiated with dedicated land in Osh region in 2018 and backed by agri-technological support, enabled Kyrgyzstan to grow its exports to Russia. This export-oriented development helped stabilize domestic production, which rebounded to 142.6 thousand tonnes in 2022 after a dip in earlier years.

Import trends also shifted, with cabbage imports reaching 8.8 thousand tonnes in 2025, partly supplied from Uzbekistan, reflecting increased regional trade flows.
