Trends and prospects of oilseed production in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan

Oilseed production in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan is of particular importance in the agricultural sector, ensuring the country’s food security. The main task of oilseed production is to ensure the domestic food market and the raw material base of the processing industry. These crops, after processing, allow the production of vegetable oils that are used in the food, cosmetics and chemical industries. It has been established that the effectiveness of oilseed cultivation depends on the quality of seeds, applied agricultural technologies, the use of fertilizers, irrigation systems and the level of mechanization. The aim of the study is to quantify the dynamics of acreage and yield of oilseeds in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan for 2020–2025 in the regional context, to substantiate targeted recommendations to improve the efficiency of the industry. The study revealed the problems of growing oilseeds in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. The main ones are dependence on adverse weather conditions, lack of modern technologies, insufficient availability of water resources and lack of investments in the agricultural sector. The productivity and efficiency of enterprises producing oilseeds depend on various factors. In this regard, the article analyzes the dynamics of production volumes, acreage and yield of oilseeds in the whole country and by region. The main research areas include identifying factors affecting the production of oilseeds, comparing regional differences in production performance, assessing opportunities to increase the efficiency of oilseed cultivation through the introduction of new technologies and infrastructure improvements, as well as exploring potential areas to stimulate the sector’s growth, including government support and expansion of export opportunities. Based on the results of the study, ways to solve existing problems in the production of oilseeds in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan are proposed, namely: it is necessary to continue the policy of import substitution, diversify agriculture, increase financing and modernize the industry. The scientific and practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of using its results to improve agricultural policy.
