The Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry of Kyrgyzstan has launched a pilot automated information system (AIS) for processing applications for tariff quotas. The platform has transitioned meat import management to a digital format, eliminating paperwork, the ministry reported.
What has changed for business:
- suppliers can register online on the portal quota.agro.gov.kg;
- applications are submitted electronically without visiting the ministry;
- application status can be tracked in a personal account with email notifications.
How the system works:
- automatically verifies company data through the Ministry of Justice database;
- allocates volumes between new and existing market participants in three stages;
- maintains electronic registries and generates reports in PDF format;
- monitors actual import volumes in real time.
The introduction of the AIS has minimized the human factor and increased transparency in decision-making. Digitalization has reduced application processing times and ensured fair access for entrepreneurs to the market, the ministry noted.
