- According to the National Statistical Committee, in 2025, the volume of grain harvested in Kyrgyzstan amounted to 1.8 million tons (excluding legumes, rice, and buckwheat, in weight after processing).

This is 14.2% less compared to 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the gross harvest of wheat and barley, which fell by 26.2% and 26.5%, respectively.

In 2025, the gross harvest of wheat was 490.5 thousand tons, barley — 449 thousand tons, and corn for grain — 846.4 thousand tons.

The most significant share in the structure of the gross grain harvest belongs to corn for grain — 47.3%, followed by wheat — 27.4% and barley — 25.1%.

Peasant (farm) households remain the main producers of grain, accounting for over 91% of the total harvest volume.

Interestingly, the gross harvest of wheat in 2024 increased by 51% compared to 2023, but in 2025 there was a decline of 26.2%. A similar situation is observed with barley: a growth of 59.9% in 2024 was followed by a decrease of 26.5% in 2025.

The reduction in grain production volumes is associated with a drop in yield. In 2025, the average yield of wheat was 19.8 quintals per hectare, significantly lower than 27.7 quintals per hectare in 2024. The yield of barley also decreased: 18.3 quintals per hectare compared to 24.7 quintals per hectare in 2024.

Nevertheless, the gross harvest of corn for grain continues to increase: in 2024 it grew by 0.7% compared to 2023, and in 2025 — by 5.1% compared to the previous year.

The largest volumes of wheat production are concentrated in Chui region (35.6%), Issyk-Kul (21.2%), Osh (19.3%), and Jalal-Abad (11.9%). In barley production, the leaders are Chui (37.1%), Issyk-Kul (29.7%), Osh (11.3%), and Naryn (9.7%) regions. Corn for grain is primarily produced in Chui (33.9%), Osh (26.8%), and Jalal-Abad (26.2%) regions.
