Asyl Zher-Tokoi Microcredit Agency
Sustainable financing for family farmers in Kyrgyzstan

The Asyl Zher-Tokoi Microcredit Agency was established by the Kyrgyz Association of Forest and Land Users (KAFLU) to provide affordable financing to family farmers, rural entrepreneurs, women, youth and vulnerable rural households.

The agency was registered by the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic in October 2025 and is an independent legal entity able to continue operating after the project ends. Its initial loan capital was formed under the DMSOP project, financed by GAFSP through the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).

Our borrowers

Our borrower is a family farmer or small rural entrepreneur. They have experience, land and a clear idea. The only thing missing is affordable money to take the next step.

Why commercial credit is out of reach — and what we offer instead

High interest rates
3% годовых
Insufficient collateral
Loans up to KGS 500,000 — sized for a family farm
Seasonal income
Grace period of up to 6 months and a term of up to 18 months

What the loans pay for

Sustainability beyond the project

Asyl Zher-Tokoi MCA is not a temporary project structure. After DMSOP ends, the agency will continue operating as an independent microcredit organisation supervised by the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic.

The agency’s sustainability is ensured by:

In this way, the initial project funding becomes a long-term revolving financial mechanism able to support several generations of rural borrowers.

An offer to partners

Every som invested in the MCA’s loan capital works more than once: once repaid, it is lent again to the next farmer.

Who we want to work with

Donors
Financial institutions
Climate funds
Social investors

What we will do together

  1. 01 Grow the loan capital so more families can borrow
  2. 02 Expand the agency’s geographic reach
  3. 03 Design dedicated products for women, youth and climate-resilient rural enterprises

Our goal is a sustainable national mechanism for direct, affordable financing of Kyrgyzstan’s family farmers — one that keeps working regardless of any single project’s timeline.
