Continuing to think about the real situation on what are the chances for better development in Kyrgyzstan one wants t bring about the numbers proving on where we are. Kyrgyzstan is known as agricultural economy where the mountains occupy 95 percent and only 7 has arable land and 44 percent of land is estimated as permanent to use for pastures. So, as one can imagine the huge amount of agricultural product for export is not managable to implement.

According to the sources, more than 90 percent of crops are yield from the irrigated land and the shortage of water at the time of irrigation together with the ineffectiveness of water distribution are the main problem faced by the croppers. The records say that 75 pecent of water flow goes outside of the country andonly 25 percent of water flow is used by the country.

As for the natural resources CIA World Factbook reminds abundance of gold and rare earth metals, which together with hydropower, gas and oil do not indicate big amount of production. While it is worth to mention that production of natural gas by the country is estimated with 16 million cubic feet whereas the consumtion of it by country’s population goes to 2 billion cubic feet.

Oil production, according to CIA Worldfactbook, makes up to 2 thousand barrels a day, while the consumption of it is 20 thousand barrels a day.

Then think about the demographics, where 40 percent of 5 million is inder poverty line, which is uncapable to move anyware.
The kyrgyz ethnicity is recognized by it’s ancesters to be nomads that migrated the huge territory of Central Asia up to late 19th century. Then what modern Kyrgyz people have to get migrated to look for job.

Having 33 urban population, where best Kyryz people can go to find a job. For sure in former soviet republics, where they can easily communicate in Russian. But look at the Russia’s migration policy that restricts the migrants with severe registration policy. And most of the Central Asin job seekers are illigal workers.I is estimated about 4 million illigal migrants in Russia.

So, that means if you don’t whan to behave illigally than you have an opportunity to stay in one place and decay.
