BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 18. The South Korean
side officially confirmed its acceptance of Kyrgyzstan's proposal
to develop a fish group identification module, which will also
cover the traceability of fish and fishery products, Trend reports via the Kyrgyz
Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing
Industry.


The initiative is currently being executed within the framework
of bilateral collaboration and seeks to integrate cutting-edge
digital innovations into the fisheries domain of Kyrgyzstan.


Kyrgyzstan is gradually creating favorable conditions for the
sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture, as well as
for attracting investment into the sector. The country is
introducing a comprehensive system for the identification and
traceability of fish and fish products, covering the entire life
cycle—from eggs to finished products.


At the current stage, monitoring of stocking activities and the
movement of eggs, fry, and adult fish has been organized;
traceability of fishery products has been ensured; and fish farms
have been identified with the relevant data entered into the
Information System for Animal Identification and Traceability.


The rollout of the group fish identification module will shine a
light on the fisheries sector, put a stop to the illegal fish
trade, pave the way for a welcoming investment environment, and
make sure the public gets their hands on top-notch and safe fish
products.







In the fiscal years 2026–2027, comprehensive governance over the
logistics of ichthyic species and aquaculture commodities via the
Information System for Animal Identification and Traceability is
projected. All system components will undergo a phased development
process, followed by rigorous testing, pilot initiatives in
designated regions, and subsequent nationwide deployment.


The work is being carried out by the Veterinary Service for
Livestock Development, Pastures, and Feed within the framework of
the project "Improving the Safety of Food Products of Animal Origin
through the Creation of a Comprehensive Intelligent System for
Animal Identification and Traceability in the Kyrgyz Republic,"
financed by the Republic of Korea. The project implementation
period is set to run until 2026.
