More than 60% of the population of Kyrgyzstan lives in rural areas and their livelihood depends mostly on agriculture. After the land reform in 2010, about 75% of the agricultural land in Kyrgyzstan is privately held, while 25% is state-owned. Over 90% of the agricultural output is produced by the private sector. With more than 300,000 farms, the share of agriculture is 25% added value of the GDP. Most farms are small (0.5-0.7 ha) and are run by individual farmers. Women make up 30% of the economically active population in agriculture. Knowledge of modern technologies of cultivation is still a serious constraint due to lack of experienced personnel and farmers as well as shortage of modern equipment and communication means. In that context, FAO, at the request of the Ministry of Agriculture and Melioration of the Kyrgyz Republic, put the wheels in motion to provide assistance to support developing farmers’ capacity and promotion of modern crop management and plant protection techniques.
