This report presents the SLE study on quality infrastructure (QI) in three value chains—apple, tomato, and plum—and its potential contribution to economic growth in southern Kyrgyzstan. Commissioned by GIZ under its Sustainable Economic Development Programme, the study was conducted out of the Jalal-Abad office. The SLE team partially studied the value chains, interviewed producers and processors, and analyzed the national quality infrastructure (NQI) supporting them. Drawing from a previous study in Ghana, a qualitative research methodology was adopted, including 60 interviews with food processors, farmers, QI providers, and development agencies. The study identified three main recommendation groups: (1) utilize formal market demands to improve food safety and QI, (2) expand QI services and client satisfaction, and (3) improve investment conditions. Findings show low QI utilization due to centralized services, lack of awareness, and high costs. Compliance with Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) export requirements is weak, risking market access. HACCP remains underutilized though relevant. Apples, plums, and tomatoes show export potential, particularly in EU organic markets, but suffer from inadequate QI. Migration of rural youth reflects limited local opportunities, which could be addressed through integrated economic support. The study concludes that increasing QI utilization requires extending services to village levels, improving HACCP translation, and boosting client-oriented delivery. To meet 2017 EAEU compliance, Kyrgyz products must improve QI performance. The recommendations aim to strengthen food safety, widen QI service scope, and support economic conditions for rural development and youth employment.
