The Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan has decided to introduce a temporary restriction on the import of seedlings of fruit plant varieties.

According to the new resolution, starting from March 1, 2026, a six-month ban on the import of seedlings will be imposed, except for those listed in the annex to the document.

This decision is aimed at improving agricultural production and ensuring food security by strengthening control over imported planting products.

The ban does not affect goods coming from the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union countries and moved within the framework of mutual trade according to the EAEU Treaty and the Union Customs Code.
Additionally, the restrictions do not apply to the transit of seedlings through the territory of Kyrgyzstan.
The Ministry of Economy and Commerce has been instructed to notify the Committee on Safeguard Measures of the World Trade Organization and the Eurasian Economic Commission about the implementation of this temporary restriction.

Within three days after the document comes into force, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must inform the Executive Committee of the CIS.

The State Customs Service, together with the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry, must take measures to prevent the illegal import of seedlings not included in the approved list.

At the same time, the previous resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers dated July 2, 2024, No. 346, concerning the temporary restriction on the import of seedlings has been canceled.

The resolution comes into force on March 1, 2026.
