Bishkek, Nov. 23, 2018 / Kabar /. 96% of agricultural products in Kyrgyzstan are produced in 400 thousand small farms with 3 hectares of land each, stated in the Concept of Food and Nutrition Security developed by WFP, UNICEF, WHO.
Despite the important role of small farmers, their marketing opportunities are limited. Inadequate development of the food system and key value chains leads to the exclusion of most small-scale farmers from the market. This leads to high losses after harvest, says in the document.
The agricultural sector, where small producers dominate needs a number of improvements. Farmers need support for value chain development, the introduction of sustainable farming practices and the strengthening of institutional and regulatory frameworks.
