Kyrgyzstan's Fertilizer Plant Completes Final Tests, Poised for August Production

Kyrgyzstan's agricultural sector is poised for a significant boost with the successful completion of final raw material tests at the new fertilizer plant in the Nookat district of Osh region. The first production line, designed to produce 100,000 tons of humic compound fertilizers annually, passed its trials on June 18, 2026, with all equipment operating as expected under load.

The plant, a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project officially initiated in May 2023 during the first "China-Central Asia" Summit, is a collaboration that will see the facility transferred to the Kyrgyz Republic after 30 years of operation. Company officials are optimistic about the plant's readiness, with the director stating that serial production could commence as early as August, pending the arrival of raw materials.

Today's trial run of the equipment went very successfully. It is expected that after the arrival of raw materials, the enterprise will begin regular production in August. After the plant is commissioned, its activities will have a significant positive impact on the development of agriculture and support for farmers of the Kyrgyz Republic, will contribute to increasing the efficiency of agricultural production and will bring significant economic benefits by increasing the export potential of Kyrgyzstan.

This development is anticipated to have a substantial positive impact on the nation's agriculture. "The activity of the plant will have a significant positive impact on the development of agriculture and support for farmers of the Kyrgyz Republic," said Liu Binglin, director of the plant and a board member of Hebei Baidoujia Fertilizer Co., Ltd. He added that it would increase the efficiency of agricultural production and bring significant economic benefits by boosting Kyrgyzstan's export potential.

Local officials also highlighted the project's importance. The first deputy akim of Nookat district, Mamajunus Abilov, emphasized the critical need for the plant, noting that Kyrgyz farmers have previously relied on imported fertilizers. "If the plant starts full operation, about 3,000 jobs will be created for local residents. Surplus products will be exported," he stated. The plant's construction involved the delivery of equipment from China in November 2024, followed by installation and idle-run tests throughout 2025. With two more production lines under construction, the facility aims to reach a total annual capacity of 300,000 tons of fertilizers by the end of the year, crucial for meeting domestic demand and furthering agricultural development.

This plant is extremely necessary for agriculture. Until today, our farmers have been forced to import fertilizers from abroad. If the plant starts full operation, about 3,000 jobs will be created for local residents. Surplus products will be exported.
