The Ministry of Agriculture of Kyrgyzstan proposes to the government to introduce a ban on the export of cattle and small cattle. This was reported by the press service of the Kyrgyzstan Ministry of Agriculture.

It is also proposed to ban the export of feed for livestock and a number of other agricultural products: wheat, corn, a mixture of wheat and rye -meslin, rice, barley, wheat flour, vegetable oil, sugar and iodized salt.

As the Minister of Agriculture of Kyrgyzstan Tilek Toktogaziev explained, a sharp reduction in the breeding stock was the reason why it is proposed to introduce a ban on livestock exports.

"If a ban is not introduced, Kyrgyzstan may face problems with meat production this year and in subsequent years - since there will be no one to bear bovine offspring. Therefore, preserving the mother stock is a strategically important task for the state, "said the Minister of Agriculture.
