Kant (Kyrgyz: Кант) is a town in the Chüy Valley of northern Kyrgyzstan, some 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Bishkek. It is the administrative center of the Ysyk-Ata District (formerly Kant District). Its population was 22,617 in 2021. Kant was established in 1928.
The Kyrgyz word for sugar is "kant", and the city received its name when a sugar plant was built there in the 1930s (it is an often repeated myth that the town was named after the German philosopher Immanuel Kant).
