Earlier Report Observations

The pepper market in Kyrgyzstan, measured by volume, showed significant fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. Starting at 445 tons in 2018, it grew steadily to 487 tons in 2020, then contracted sharply to 391 tons in 2021. A strong rebound followed in 2022, with the market reaching 530 tons, before declining again to 470 tons in 2023.

These movements were primarily driven by changes in import volumes, as domestic production remained relatively stable around 200 tons per year. Imports varied from a low of 193 tons in 2021 to a high of 371 tons in 2022, directly influencing the total market size. Exports were negligible except for 2022, when 43 tons were shipped abroad.

In 2025, several regulatory developments occurred that could impact the agricultural sector and the pepper market. These included tax code amendments introducing a fixed 10% rate for individual entrepreneurs and a 12% VAT, as well as a temporary ban on the export of mineral fertilizers to secure domestic supply for farmers. Additionally, Uzbekistan remained a key source of pepper imports for Kyrgyzstan.
