According to information announced on February 18 by the First Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative of the President in the Chui Region, Sanjar Zhantaev, at a board meeting, the total volume of gross agricultural production in the region amounted to 113 billion 881 million soms. This figure is 1.7% lower than the previous year, indicating a slight decline in the agricultural sector.

Zhantaev noted that the main reason for this decline is the decrease in crop yields. However, there are positive changes in livestock production: growth was 104.3% for meat, 107% for milk, 141% for eggs, and 103.6% for wool.

He also emphasized that in 2025, water scarcity became a serious problem for agriculture, negatively affecting average yields. As a result, the share of the Chui Region in the total grain production in the country amounted to 24.7%.

To support farmers, 4 billion 687 million soms were allocated in 2025 in the form of loans. Of this amount, 2 billion 749 million soms were provided to 1,075 farmers through AО "Aiyl Bank," and 1 billion 938 million soms were given to 923 farmers through AО "Eldik Bank" under state preferential lending programs.

The funds are directed towards the development of the agro-industrial complex, including the project "Financing Agriculture - 13," leasing, breeding of pedigree livestock, seed production farms, gasification, and interest-free lending under the "Social Contract" program.

Regarding pastures, according to the data from the First Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative, their total area is 850,492 hectares. In 2025, 15,302 kg of seeds were sown on an area of 2,506 hectares to develop unproductive pastures.

According to the regional pasture committees, in the 12 months of 2025, 46 million 898 thousand soms were collected from pasture users, which is 19 million 285 thousand soms more than in the same period of the previous year.
