BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 2. Kyrgyzstan has
provided preferential loans worth 12.65 billion soms ($144.54
million) to agricultural producers in 2026 under eight state-funded
agricultural financing programs.


According to the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and
Processing Industry of Kyrgyzstan, a total of 10,599 loans have
been financed, while subsidies amounted to 1.20 billion soms
($13.69 million). The overall lending volume under the programs
stood at 12.61 billion soms ($144.18 million).


Preferential loans are provided at annual interest rates of 2%
to 6%, with repayment periods of three to seven years. Borrowers
are also granted grace periods of six to 12 months.


State support covers agricultural producers in all regions of
the country. The largest share of financing went to the Chui
region, which received 3.80 billion soms ($43.42 million). The
Issyk-Kul region received 2.22 billion soms ($25.36 million);
Jalal-Abad region, 1.91 billion soms ($21.84 million); Osh region,
1.55 billion soms ($17.69 million); Talas region, 1.48 billion soms
($16.96 million); Naryn region, 1.18 billion soms ($13.45 million);
and Batken region, 510.1 million soms ($5.83 million).







Meanwhile, a proposal is under consideration to launch five
major preferential agricultural financing programs in 2027, with a
combined volume of 20 billion soms ($228.71 million).


Trend estimates
that the geographical distribution of preferential agricultural
financing indicates a broad regional reach, although funding
remains concentrated in a few major agricultural areas. The Chui
region accounts for about 30% of total regional allocations, while
Issyk-Kul and Jalal-Abad account for around 17.5% and 15.1%,
respectively. Together, these three regions receive about 62.7% of
the financing.


According to Trend’s calculations, the proposed expansion of
preferential agricultural financing in 2027 will represent an
increase of about 58.2% compared with the amount disbursed in 2026.
This points to a potential acceleration in state-backed
agricultural financing. If approved, the proposed programs could
expand access to affordable credit, support investment in
agricultural production and processing, and strengthen the
financial capacity of agricultural producers across the
regions.
