Brief description:

The aim of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of establishing a fruit and vegetable supply-chain in the
vicinity of Bishkek/Kyrgyz Republic. This platform will target not only local markets, but also those in neighboring
countries, especially the Russian Federation market. It will be structured around all segments of the chain,
namely production, processing, agro-food testing, packaging, logistics and marketing.

The project will be the first of its kind in the Kyrgyz Republic. The logistic center is expected to be located near
Bishkek with regional contracting centers in at least 3 agricultural regions of the country. The overall investment
is estimated at USD 100 millions.

The project will target a large number of smallholders (i.e. women farmers, youth, producer associations,
cooperative groups, etc.) and Small-Medium agro-enterprises.

The feasibility study should provide a basis for decision-making as well as documentation for the Eurasian
Development Bank, the Russian Trade Representation in Kyrgyzstan and SK Development to invest in such
project.

A. CONTEXT

A.1. BACKGROUND

The Kyrgyz Republic– a landlocked country in Central Asia with a population of 5.4 million – has not yet fully
recovered from the 2010 socio-political turmoil and is still struggling to face the challenges and drawbacks
resulting from unstable and sometimes hostile conditions. The accelerating changes in the global economy and
the lack of sustainability in the development of some sectors add to the challenges that Kyrgyzstan has to face.

The country gained independence in 1991, and since then made substantial progress towards the creation of a
liberal market economy, including international integration through trade and investment. The Government
formally requested to join the Belarus-Kazakhstan-Russia Customs Union (CU). But, several concerns remain to
be resolved prior to accession, including compatibility with the country’s existing membership in the World Trade
Organization (WTO)1.

With improvements in the political and security situation in 2011, the Kyrgyz economy recovered from recession
and experienced a broad-based growth (5.7%). However, Kyrgyzstan remains one of the poorest countries in the
2
Central Asia region, with income per head of $880 in 2010 . Poverty remains widespread as more than 31.7% of
the population lives below the poverty line, and the government remains challenged in delivering basic services in
various regions of the country. In addition, wide disparities and income inequalities all challenge the country’s
progress, with poverty highly concentrated in rural areas. The following table provides a brief overview of some of
the more common socio-economic indicators for the country.

Kyrgyzstan has now a reform-minded Government in place which has set as primary objectives enhancing
political and social well-being and achieving economic prosperity, together with human dignity and equal
opportunities for the people of the Kyrgyz Republic. The main pillars of the Government strategy towards
reaching these goals are:

• An effective, transparent public administration.

• A fair society.
• Sustainable economic growth.
• Continuous trend in poverty reduction.

Considering the landlocked nature of the country and its historical regional economic ties, the Eurasian Economic
Commonwealth (EurAsEC) is seen as an immediate market opportunity. Therefore, a strategic factor for the
Kyrgyz Republic to develop its economy, create productive employment and reduce poverty is:

• To strengthen its regional cooperation, especially trade related activities. Key sectors presenting a great
potential for making significant progress in such developments are agriculture and related industries.
• This project aims at establishing a regional supply-chain for fruits and vegetables targeting not only local
markets, but also neighboring countries, and especially the Russian Federation market.

A.2. PROBLEMS TO BE ADDRESSED

While being one of the leading sectors in the Kyrgyz economy, the agricultural sector (including products
processing and marketing) faces a range of constraints, including the following:

• A highly very fragmented sector where 14% of the enterprises regularly sell their products through retail
shops.
• Insufficient training in the production and processing techniques leading to production losses.
• Difficulties in accessing market channels and a poor understanding of customer needs and
requirements at the export and national markets.
• Lack of access to finance despite the relatively low investment requirements to develop an agricultural
business.
• Inappropriate technologies and facilities leading to production spoilage and poor product quality and
safety.
• Inability to ensure constant volume of deliveries at the request of the buyer and the seasonal nature of
supply.
• Significant loss of production volumes for transportation due to the lack of primary processing of
products.

Despite these constraints, Kyrgyzstan has clear comparative advantages in the region which can support the
development of the agricultural sector; especially for the production of fruit and vegetables (F&V) and associated
agri-businesses. However it will be necessary to develop and integrate all segments of the F&V supply-chain
within the country and also build the local capacity and infrastructure to meet the requirements of export markets.

B. REASONS FOR UNIDO ASSISTANCE

UNIDO’s potential cooperation with Kyrgyzstan is guided by the government’s priorities and is complementing
activities of other development partners in the country. The main focus of this cooperation as identified in the joint
3
assessment mission carried-out by UNIDO and the Government of Kyrgyzstan in May 2012 is as follow :

• Private sector, investment and business environment.

• Regional trade integration.
• Agri-business and agro-industry which present high potentials for development (and export) and jobs
creation.

UNIDO has conducted several feasibility studies for industrial as well as non-industrial projects, whether new
investments, rehabilitations, expansions, joint venture or privatization projects. The Organization has also
developed its own tools for carrying-out such studies, including COMFAR (Computer Model for Feasibility
Analysis and Reporting) and How to start agro-food industries. These tools will be applied in this project.

C. THE PROJECT

C.1. OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

Broad objective of the project:

Develop the supply chain of fruit and vegetable in Kyrgyzstan contributing to income generation, products
diversification and increased market export.

Specific objective of the project:

Decision makers and investors take informed-decisions based on the F&V supply-chain feasibility study.

C.2. BUSINESS IDEA AND UNIDO APPROACH

C.2.1. THE BUSINESS IDEA

The overall project idea is to set up a supply-chain platform for fruits and vegetables in the Kyrgyz Republic. In
addition to supporting the development of the agricultural sector in the country by organizing the local distribution
of fruits and vegetables, this platform will serve as a basis for enhancing regional agricultural trade and economic
integration.

Currently the distribution and marketing of fruits and vegetables in the Kyrgyz Republic is disorganized and
inefficient. It involves several small producers, traders and distributers with unclear transactions. The sector is
characterized by unreliable supplies both in terms of quantities and quality, high informal fees for the
transportation of the goods through the Customs Union, significant loss of the production due to limited primary
processing, etc.

The proposed project (business) aims at solving some of the above-mentioned challenges by organizing and
developing the supply of fruits and vegetables both in the country and for neighbouring markets (especially the
Russian Federation). The suggested model for such organization is shown in Figure 1.

In brief, the main resources are fruits and vegetables to be supplied from different agricultural regions of the
Kyrgyz Republic. Small agricultural producers from these regions will be organized and contracted to supply their
productions to Regional Contracting Centers (RCC) where the products will be subject to quality control and
primary processing and stored. The RCCs will in turn supply the F&V to a logistic platform which would serve as
the main operator of the project by providing services such as: market intelligence, develop orders, regulate
pricing and volume of supplies, etc.

The overall planned investment for establishing this supply-chain platform is about USD 100 mill, including land,
buildings, agro-processing infrastructure (sorting, refrigeration, packing stations, labs, etc.), logistics/supply
regulation, IT (information, data management, market monitoring, etc.), food safety compliance (product
specifications and guidelines for quality, traceability, certification, etc.), operation (waste management, drinking
water, waste water, electricity, etc.), security (access control, telemonitoring, etc.) and promotion of the Kyrgyz
F&V trade mark.

The project is expected to be financed by private investors from the Russian Federation and SK Development (a
Kyrgyz company) as well as by attracting loans from the Eurasian Development Bank.

The main target customers for the fruits and vegetables are expected to be the national markets and those of the
Russian Federation.

C.2.2. THE APPROACH

The approach to be used for carry-out the feasibility study will be based on UNIDO’s standard methodology,
including the steps described in Figure 2 below:

Figure 2. Steps to carry-out the feasibility study

As described in Figure 2, the project development process involves a series of stages of preparation, essentially
in a logical progression. However, in practice the process is iterative – accumulating information at later stages
requires review and perhaps modification of approaches of prior stages. In fact, the sequence can be initiated
almost at any point; only as information and ideas take shape can the entire investment project configuration
crystallize.

Based on the information provided by SK Development and the Russian Trade representation in Bishkek, UNIDO
will describe the supply-chain investment project with a particular focus on available resources in the various
agricultural regions of Kyrgyzstan (fruits and vegetables), the possible location of the logistic platform and its
satellite (regional contracting centers). UNIDO will further complete this information by the review and
assessment of potential competition and markets. Such information will allow identifying existing opportunities
and strategies for the way forward. It will also allow preparing a business concept that explains how and why the
project will be successful and eventually identify investors and financiers who are willing to support the project. At
the same time, guarantors, if required, have to be identified and brought into the picture. Subsequently, a more

detailed techno-economic feasibility study will be carried-out, including risk and sensitivity analysis of the project.
Section C.4 provides the details of the activities to be carried-out.

C.3. TARGET BENEFICIARIES

The project direct beneficiaries are SK Development, the Russian Trade Representation in Kyrgyzstan and the
Eurasia Development Bank which will make use of the results of the feasibility study.

In the medium to long-term, the project is expected to benefit the following categories of indirect beneficiaries:

• The agro-based industries (SME’s) which would benefit from the establishment of a F&V supply chain
platform.
• The Kyrgyz farmers and exporters of agricultural products who would benefit from the supply chain.
• The rural communities who can access better services/technologies for producing and processing their
products.
• The Kyrgyz Government will be benefit from a regulated F&V market with transparent transactions.
