BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, June 20. The phytosanitary
control point “Ak-Zhol,” located at the Kyrgyz-Kazakh state border,
will resume operations starting June 20, 2025, Trend reports, citing the
Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry
of Kyrgyzstan.
The reopening aims to boost the export potential of domestic
agricultural producers. This initiative aims to mitigate
bottlenecks at current border control points, which are presently
inundated with substantial flows of agricultural commodities,
consequently enhancing the efficacy and quality of phytosanitary
evaluations.
The supplementary control node will concurrently mitigate the
potential for the introduction and dissemination of quarantine
pathogens and infestations—an increasingly critical strategy in the
context of escalating globalization and heightened logistical
movements.
The ministry articulates that this initiative constitutes a pivotal
maneuver to bolster the integrity of agricultural exports, optimize
regulatory frameworks, augment the nation’s export throughput, and
streamline cargo processing timelines to mitigate potential
delays.
