What will be produced with your country's resources?

Kyrgyzstan has several resources that go out into the global economy. The first of these is
minerals extraction. These minerals include mercury and uranium, which are used in the
technology industry, and also gold, which could be used for any number of things, including
technology, artwork, and jewelry. Products of agriculture are another major resource in
Kyrgyzstan. Those that are food are used for consumption, plants and meats. Cotton and
wool harvested in Kyrgyzstan might go on to become any number of textiles. Sometimes,
Kyrgyzstan also exports electricity, which can be used to power nearly anything.

How will these goods be produced?

All produce originating in Kyrgyzstan will likely simply be packaged and sent away. The
cotton and wool will likely go through many different channels, becoming fabric, and then
perhaps shirts or blankets. This will likely be done in factories. Meats will go to factories to
either be cured or packaged, and sold in markets. Depending on the eventual result of the
mineral goods, they might go through a number of production channels. Gold, for example,
that is to become a necklace, might be cut and portioned, and weighed, before being
shipped to a jeweler or a factory which makes jewelry.

Who will use these goods?

The food products will hopefully be consumed, by anyone who enjoys them. The textiles,
depending on their type, might be used as clothing, or as blankets for warmth, or curtains
on a house, or bags that hold things. These go to whoever happens to buy the things, as
nearly everyone has clothing or blankets with cotton or wool in them. More dangerous
minerals will be used by scientists, perhaps, or else governments and manufacturers. Gold
can be used by jewelers, or people who make computer chips, or anyone with a gold tooth.

Will these goods be exported?

Of Kyrgyzstans exports, cotton is the only one that can be exported in any amount. As for
the rest of the goods, Kyrgyzstan does export a decent quantity. As a member of the World
Trade Organization, Kyrgyzstan has access to a network of international trade, and does
export goods.

Kyrgyzstan has a more traditionally-based command economy.


While under Soviet command, Kyrgyzstan had an entirely
centralized economy, which left them little room for economic
individualization and growth. With the liberation of their
economy at the start of Kyrgyzstan independence, a small
economic collapse took place due to the lack of Russian support.

and explain the type of economic system. system is highly traditional, however, as the things with which the
people of Kyrgyzstan trade and make their money are the same
things as they have always traded and made money with. Farming
and agriculture is a major source of economic support, but there
are many (primarily nomadic) groups of people who have next to
no income each year, who live in their communities and trade
within.
The countries that border Kyrgyzstan are China to the east,
Kazakhstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the west, and Tajikistan to
the south. In Kyrgyzstan, the unemployment rate is 7.7% as of
2016. This rate is high, when compared with a rate of 4% in China,
5% in Kazakhstan, 4.9% in Uzbekistan, and 2.4% in Tajikistan.
This is likely due to the large nomadic population in Kyrgyzstan,
whose jobs are not official, but rather refer to their lifestyles. It is
also potentially indicative of the state Kyrgyzstan was left with

primarily agricultural, and so are its goods. As an agriculture-
heavy county, it follows that much of what Kyrgyzstan would be
exporting is being consumed by its own people instead, limiting
the money it can make from exports.
