Temir Sariev identified three main barriers to trade.

Bureaucracy and regulations: discrepancies in labeling and documentation force businesses to undergo repeated inspections.

Border delays: uncoordinated sanitary inspections and queues lead to spoilage of goods.

Marketplace risks: Emergencies and fires at Wildberries warehouse hubs in Russia are causing direct losses for Kyrgyz producers.

«Placing warehouse infrastructure in Kyrgyzstan is not only about economics but also about risk diversification. Products shouldn’t be stored in one place,»

the head of the Kyrgyz Chamber of Commerce and Industry said.

Drones attacked Wildberries logistics facilities in various regions of Russia in July. Kyrgyzstan’s authorities announced their readiness to provide assistance to Kyrgyz entrepreneurs who suffered losses due to fires at the marketplace’s warehouses in the form of preferential loans.
