Earlier Report Observations

The sheep and goat meat market in Kyrgyzstan grew steadily from 145.6 thousand tons in 2018 to 173.4 thousand tons in 2023. This expansion was initially supported by the traditional development of goat farming, including improvements in breeding bases and the spread of private pedigree farms and cooperative enterprises. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused logistical disruptions that temporarily slowed the growth rate, but production continued to rise.

From 2021 onward, state support programs such as subsidies and financial aid to livestock farmers became more active, boosting output. At the same time, increasing domestic demand driven by population growth and changing consumer preferences further propelled market volume. In 2022 and 2023, global challenges including higher feed prices and supply chain difficulties moderated the pace, yet the market continued to expand due to ongoing development of pedigree farms and cooperatives.
