Comparison with the previous year shows that the volume of the harvest decreased by 14.2%. The main reason for this decline was the drop in the gross yield of wheat and barley, which decreased by 26.2% and 26.5%, respectively.
In 2025, the gross yield of wheat amounted to 490.5 thousand tons, barley to 449 thousand tons, and corn for grain to 846.4 thousand tons.
In the structure of the gross grain yield, the largest share is occupied by corn for grain — 47.3%, followed by wheat — 27.4% and barley — 25.1%.
Peasant (farm) households remain the main producers of grain, providing over 91% of the total harvest volume.
Interestingly, in 2024, the gross yield of wheat increased by 51% compared to 2023, but in 2025, the opposite trend is observed — a decrease of 26.2% compared to 2024. A similar trend is seen in barley: a growth of 59.9% in 2024 was followed by a decline of 26.5% in 2025.
The reduction in grain production volumes is associated with a decrease in yield. In 2025, the average yield of wheat was 19.8 centners per hectare, which is lower than the figure of 27.7 centners per hectare in 2024. The yield of barley was 18.3 centners per hectare, compared to 24.7 centners per hectare the year before.
Nevertheless, the gross yield of corn for grain continues to grow: in 2024 it increased by 0.7% compared to 2023, and in 2025 — by 5.1% compared to the previous year.
The largest share of wheat production is concentrated in Chui (35.6%), Issyk-Kul (21.2%), Osh (19.3%), and Jalal-Abad (11.9%) regions. The leaders in barley production are Chui (37.1%), Issyk-Kul (29.7%), Osh (11.3%), and Naryn (9.7%) regions. Corn for grain production is concentrated in Chui (33.9%), Osh (26.8%), and Jalal-Abad (26.2%) regions.
