Residents of Kyrgyzstan are increasingly buying products from Russian manufacturers, with a particular interest in construction materials and food.
Analysts attribute this trend to the influence of labor migrants who are familiar with the quality and variety of Russian products. These items are consistently in demand across both urban centers and rural areas. Apart from construction materials and food, household chemicals, clothing, and footwear are also popular, but the greatest interest lies in everyday necessities like food and materials for repairs.
Buyers in Kyrgyzstan are drawn to Russian goods due to factors such as convenient supply chains, product availability, and a preference for well-known brands. These aspects heavily influence consumer preferences in the country.
