Kyrgyzstan forms task force to oversee agricultural lab testing and certification
Reuters
Kyrgyzstan has announced the creation of an interagency task force aimed at supervising and enhancing laboratory testing for agricultural products, the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry said on Sunday.
The initiative is designed to ensure compliance with technical and food safety regulations and boost the international competitiveness of domestic produce.
The decision was made during a high-level meeting chaired by Bakyt Torobaev, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Minister of Agriculture. Discussions centered on improving the certification process for agricultural goods and streamlining trade documentation procedures.
The newly formed commission will be responsible for:
- Developing a comprehensive testing framework for food and agricultural products
- Implementing modern laboratory methods and automation tools for testing and documentation
- Improving interagency coordination among regulatory bodies, conformity assessment institutions, and testing laboratories
Officials stressed that Kyrgyzstan’s current certification and testing systems are already in alignment with Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and international standards, but additional steps are necessary to raise quality benchmarks and enhance export readiness.
The task force is part of the government’s broader strategy to improve product traceability, increase food safety assurance, and support agricultural exports—a sector critical to Kyrgyzstan’s economic development.
By reinforcing testing protocols and regulatory coordination, the government aims to solidify Kyrgyzstan’s reputation as a reliable source of safe and high-quality agricultural products in regional and global markets.
