Agriculture is one of the key sectors of Turkmenistan’s economy,
employing a significant share of the population and playing an
important role in ensuring food security and providing raw
materials for the domestic industry. The sector focuses primarily
on the cultivation of strategic crops such as cotton and wheat, as
well as vegetables, fruits, and melons.
The government places strong emphasis on modernizing farming
practices, improving irrigation systems, and increasing
productivity through state support programs. Large state entities,
including Turkmenpagta State Concern and Turkmengallaonumleri State
Association, coordinate cotton and grain production, respectively,
while livestock breeding and food processing are managed by
specialized state associations.
