Kyrgyzstan has opened a new route for fresh berry exports to China after the two countries signed an official phytosanitary protocol.

The agreement gives Kyrgyz producers the right to officially export freshly harvested raspberries, blackberries and currants to the Chinese market, the Agriculture Ministry said.

The Department of Agricultural Crop Expertise and Horticulture recommended several high-yield varieties for farmers targeting exports. For raspberries, it listed Enrosadira, Shehiba and Polonez. Recommended blackberries include Loch Ness and Natchez, while currant varieties include golden currant, Tiben and Tisel.

The authorities said the varieties are remontant, highly transportable and suitable for export. Their firm structure helps them withstand transportation and storage while retaining their marketable appearance, quality and taste.
