The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is set to provide $40 million for the construction of trade and logistics centers, along with storage facilities in Kyrgyzstan, according to Bakyt Torobayev, the Minister of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry.

"The allocated funds will be directed towards the construction of trade and logistics centers. These funds are being provided through the state-owned Ayil Bank. It is essential for consolidated producers to have access to refrigerators and storage points for products," Torobayev said, The Caspian Post reports citing local media.

To note, in order to increase the volumes and profitability of agricultural products, the "Support for Consolidated Producers" project was launched on January 1, 2025.

Since Kyrgyzstan became a member of ADB in 1994, the bank has provided approximately $2.9 billion in public sector loans, grants, and technical assistance to the country.
