Bishkek, Feb. 4, 2026. /Kabar/. Kyrgyzstan has received official permission to export honey to European Union countries.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, specialists led by Adilet Sotovaldiev, Director of the Veterinary Service, Livestock, Pasture, and Forage Development, held a meeting with honey producers across the country.
During the meeting, issues related to developing a further export roadmap, increasing the potential of Kyrgyz honey in the European market, and ensuring the production of products that meet international quality standards were discussed.
It is noted that the European Commission has authorized the export of Kyrgyz honey and included it in the list of products subject to technical requirements for import into the EU.
