The government of Kyrgyzstan has imposed a temporary ban on the export of certain types of crops and animal feed. The ban, which is in effect for six months, applies to hay, straw, feed, bran and grain feed, as well as barley, rice and oats, Turanews.kz reports.
The ban is being imposed due to concerns about food security in the country. Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked country and relies on imports for a significant portion of its food. The war in Ukraine has disrupted global food markets, and the Kyrgyz government is taking steps to ensure that there is enough food available for its people.
The ban does not apply to re-exports, transit, or humanitarian assistance. This means that crops and animal feed can still be exported if they are being sent to another country for further processing or if they are being used to help people in need.
The ban is expected to have a significant impact on the Kyrgyz economy. The country is a major exporter of crops and animal feed, and the ban will reduce the amount of revenue that the country receives from exports. However, the government believes that the ban is necessary to ensure food security for its people.
The Kyrgyz government is working to mitigate the impact of the ban on the economy. The government is providing financial assistance to farmers and is also working to increase domestic production of crops and animal feed.
