The Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic has announced an expansion of financial support for the agricultural sector. By the beginning of 2026, six state projects have been implemented with a total amount of 7 billion 380 million soms, and soon the number of programs will increase to nine, which will allow for record funding of 13 billion 180 million soms.
Farmers, agribusinesses, and processing enterprises will be able to take advantage of preferential loans provided through the state banks "Aiyl Bank" and "Eldik Bank." The new program covers all important areas, including spring fieldwork, high-tech leasing, and water conservation.
Main conditions of the support programs
The most attractive conditions are offered for the implementation of water-saving systems, where the interest rate is only 2% per annum for a term of up to 7 years. The financing volume in this area reaches 3.8 billion soms. A rate of 3% per annum is available for farmers engaged in breeding livestock, seed farms, and nurseries, as well as for fattening projects in the Chui region and Bishkek.
For traditional areas, such as "Agriculture Financing-14," the rate is 6% per annum. This program is aimed at the purchase of seeds, fuel, and livestock, with loans of up to 500 thousand soms available without collateral. Similar conditions apply to cluster associations (with a limit of up to 1 billion soms each) and leasing programs.
Leasing and modernization of equipment
Under the leasing program, agricultural producers can acquire equipment at an interest rate of 6% per annum for a term of up to 7 years with a down payment starting from 10%. In 2025, 143 units of special equipment, including tractors and combines, were issued under this program, amounting to 511 million soms, and the issuance process continues.
Currently, loans amounting to over 125 million soms have already been issued under the "FSA-14" project. Other programs, including a significant regional cluster production project worth 3.8 billion soms, are in the final stages of approval and are being prepared for launch.
Such large-scale state support aims to ensure the country's food security, increase the genetic potential of livestock, and automate agricultural production.
