In northern Kyrgyzstan, in the Naryn region bordering China, the International Trade and Logistics Center "At-Bashy" is scheduled to launch by the end of 2027, becoming a key element of Central Asia's infrastructure. This was reported by the Ministry of Economy of Kyrgyzstan.
This project, along with major hubs like "Khorgos" (China-Kazakhstan), "Dordoi" (Kyrgyzstan), and "Abu-Sakhia" (Uzbekistan), will strengthen regional trade ties and create new export opportunities for Kyrgyz goods.
The At-Bashy Trade and Logistics Complex will cover an area of nearly 130,000 square meters. It will include zones with customs benefits, modern warehouses, trade pavilions, and showrooms.
These facilities will provide favorable conditions for Kyrgyz producers, granting them direct access to international markets.
According to forecasts, the annual turnover of the center is expected to reach $100 million in its first three years of operation and increase to $200 million in subsequent years.
The center aims to attract up to 500,000 visitors annually, significantly boosting trade activity in the region.
The sale of commercial spaces is set to begin in early 2025.
Currently, negotiations are underway with leading global marketplaces, including "Ozon," "Wildberries," "Alibaba," and "Taobao."
These partnerships aim to accelerate the delivery of goods, optimize logistical costs, and make Kyrgyz products more competitive in global markets.
In addition to the prospective At-Bashy hub, Kyrgyzstan already has several significant trade and logistics centers:
Dordoi Trade and Logistics Center (Bishkek):
One of the largest markets in Central Asia, specializing in wholesale and retail trade of goods from China, Turkey, and other countries. "Dordoi" also serves as a regional distribution hub, supplying products to neighboring countries.
Kara-Suu Trade and Logistics Center (Osh Region):
A key hub for southern Kyrgyzstan, handling significant cargo volumes from China, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. The center provides storage and redistribution of agricultural products.
Land Port in Osh:
This center is actively used for transporting and processing goods in the southern regions of the country. Its location ensures quick access to Uzbek and Tajik markets.
Ak-Tilek Roadway Center (Kazakh Border):
A modern logistics hub that plays a crucial role in exporting Kyrgyz products to the Kazakh market. The center includes zones for cargo handling and storage.
Planned Logistics Center in Bishkek:
Scheduled for construction as part of the infrastructure development program, this center aims to optimize transit flows and reduce transportation costs for entrepreneurs.
These logistics centers form a stable infrastructure base for Kyrgyzstan, supporting the country's economy and strengthening its position in international trade.
