Synopsis (short abstract) Following the fall of the Soviet Union, aquaculture production across Central Asia has dramatically declined and many operational fish farms have been abandoned. Existing pond farms and new production facilities in the Kyrgyz Republic are promising, yet a lack of technical expertise and support industries limits the potential growth of the aquaculture sector. Fish farmers rely on costly imported or poor quality feeds and, as a result, suffer from low production rates and economic returns. This project aimed to revitalise the aquaculture sector by promoting the manufacture and use of high quality, cost-effective and safe aquafeeds. The objective was to support fish farmers and fish farming communities to sustainably develop and optimise on-farm feed management practices, thereby enhancing the economic performance of the aquaculture sector.

    Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of Kyrgyzstan’seconomy and accounts for one quarter of Gross Domestic Product(GDP). The sector is the largest source of employment in the country,engaging around half of the economically active population.A significant number of Kyrgyz private veterinarians are unaware oftheir rights and responsibilities, while local authorities lack awarenessof the role of private veterinarians within the community. To date,the sizeable international investment made in the animal healthand production sector has been planned without the participationof the real service providers, namely the veterinarians, and managedby non-professional agencies. To redress this imbalance, the projectaimed to establish a National Veterinary Association and a continuingeducation system for the country’s private veterinarians.

    Revitaliser le secteur de l’aquaculture au Kirgizistan- TCP/KYR/3502 2017
    Also available in:
    À la suite de la chute de l’Union soviétique, la production aquacole en Asie centrale a considérablement diminué et de nombreuses exploitations piscicoles opérationnelles ont été abandonnées. Les exploitations piscicoles en étang existantes et les nouvelles installations de production dans la République kirghize sont prometteuses, mais le manque d’expertise technique et d’industries périphériques limitent la croissance potentielle du secteur de l’aquaculture. Les pisciculteurs dépendent d’aliments composés coûteux importés ou de mauvaise qualité et, par conséquent, souffrent de faibles taux de production et d’une mauvaise rentabilité économique. Ce projet devait revitaliser le secteur de l’aquaculture en favorisant la production et l’utilisation d’aliments pour l’aquaculture de haute qualité, rentables et sécurisés. L’objectif était de soutenir les pisciculteurs et les communautés piscicoles afin de développer et d’optimiser durablement les pratiques de gestion des aliments à la ferme, accroissant ainsi la performance économique du secteur aquacole.

    Revitalizing the Aquaculture and Fisheries Sectors in Kyrgyzstan - GCP/KYR/012/FIN 2021

    Internal renewable water resources are abundant in Kyrgyzstan, making it an ideal country for aquaculture and fisheries. Indeed, between 1980 and 1990, the sectors were productive and profitable, peaking at a production level of 2 200 tonnes . After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, support for fisheries and aquaculture in Kyrgyzstan declined for various political, institutional, economic, technical and social reasons, which led to a drastic decrease in fish production. Just 200 tonnes of fish were produced in the country’s fisheries in 2009. This project was formulated with the ultimate goal of revitalizing the aquaculture and fisheries sectors in Kyrgyzstan through the development of aquaculture cooperatives and the provision of technical and material support to emergent fish farmers.
