Fertilizer plant to secure domestic supply chain

In April, the first batch of raw materials arrived at the plant in Nookat, providing supplies for initial trial production on the first 100,000-ton production line.

The materials include locally sourced refined mineral humic acid and basic fertilizer ingredients purchased from neighboring countries. The formulations are being adapted to Central Asian soil conditions and are intended to meet green and environmental standards, according to project operators.

The cooperation extends beyond fertilizer production. The project plans to establish a local sales and distribution network through franchise dealers, linking production, distribution and agricultural application.

Zhao Xuejun, chairman of Baidoujia Fertilizer, said that by combining Chinese fertilizer technology and production experience with local raw materials, labor and agricultural demand, the project will build a domestic supply chain for farm inputs while supporting Kyrgyzstan's agricultural modernization.

Chinese and Kyrgyz officials have highlighted agriculture as an important area of bilateral cooperation.

In a 2025 joint statement, the two countries said they would deepen exchanges in green agriculture, sustainable agricultural production and processing. The two sides have also pledged to expand agricultural trade and improve cooperation in modern agriculture.
