Poultry meat and offal market in Kyrgyzstan

Earlier Report Observations

The poultry meat and offal market in Kyrgyzstan demonstrated substantial expansion between 2018 and 2023, with total volume climbing from 45,350 tons to 83,261 tons. This growth was not uniform, however, as the market experienced a notable contraction in 2020 before resuming its upward trajectory.

Domestic production more than doubled over the period, rising from 16,630 tons to 31,530 tons, indicating a significant strengthening of the local supply base. Imports, a major component of market volume, also trended upwards despite a dip in 2020, reflecting sustained demand. Exports remained negligible until 2022 when they began to increase, though volumes stayed marginal relative to the size of the domestic market.

Following the 2020 slowdown, both production and imports rebounded strongly, driving consistent market growth through 2023. Available data for subsequent years indicates a continued rise in import volumes, suggesting the market's reliance on foreign supply remained significant.
