Bishkek, Nov. 15, 2024. / Kabar /. Since 2020, 26 new flour mills have been launched, President of the Association of Flour Mills Rustam Zhunushov told at the Food Systems Dialogue forum in Bishkek.
He said that before 2020 there were 8 flour mills, today there are already 34 mills.
"In the most vulnerable region in Batken, one enterprise was launched, and another is preparing to be launched. Thanks to state support, if you look, from 2021 to 2024 there is an obvious increase of almost two times in tax deductions, employment, and social contributions. Without support and preferences, the industry would not have been able to achieve such results," he noted.
Zhunushov added that Kyrgyz flour milling companies export finished products to 5 countries - Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Belarus and Mongolia.
