Kyrgyzstan is establishing clear conditions for accepting halal certifications issued in other countries for imported products. Alexei Bogdanov, head of the halal industry development department at the Ministry of Economy and Commerce, detailed the requirements during a radio interview. The move aims to streamline the import process for halal goods while ensuring compliance with Kyrgyz standards. Specific criteria for recognizing foreign certifications were not detailed in the report, but the clarification is intended to provide greater certainty for importers. This development supports the growth of the halal industry within Kyrgyzstan and facilitates international trade of halal products. The Ministry seeks to balance facilitating trade with maintaining the integrity of halal standards for consumers.
