Resumen
Descripción
Kyrgyzstan agriculture helped minimize the economic decline in living standards during the years of transition, but the sector still has a huge untapped potential that has been ignored to achieve structural reform, productivity growth and poverty reduction. Kyrgyzstan has been left behind, not only among Central Asia countries (from four to ten times lower income than the average), but also as part of the Lower-Middle Income Countries (1.5 times). The country faces numerous obstacles, such as inefficient use of water and land resources, weak extension systems, fragmented agricultural value chains, poor transport and logistics linkages and environmental disasters. In order to boost all its potential, the sector would need a strong political commitment, an enabling macroeconomic environment, and strengthened capacities of actors and institutions involved in agriculture.
