Akunbekov noted that supporting the processing industry is a strategically important task for the government. As a result of the meeting, relevant agencies were instructed to prepare proposals for improving laboratory conditions and quality standards.

The fish farming industry in Kyrgyzstan is demonstrating rapid growth and is becoming one of the most dynamically developing sectors of the agro-industrial complex. Considering that by 2025 investments in processing and food industries will increase by 10 percent, the creation of an export brand for trout represents an important step towards strengthening positions in the markets of the EAEU and China.
