BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 14. Farmers in the
Nookat district of Kyrgyzstan's southern Osh region have completed
the initial harvesting phase of cereal spike crops, clearing the
first 1,700 hectares of arable land.
This was announced in a report issued by Kyrgyzstan's Ministry
of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry.
According to the report, the regional campaign has yielded
stable agricultural productivity during the early seasonal sweep.
Local grain fields are registering average yields of 32.2 centners
per hectare for wheat and 27 centners per hectare for barley,
driven by optimal machinery deployment and field logistics.
To maintain continuous fieldwork across the district's total
planted area of 17,594 hectares, local authorities have mobilized a
specialized fleet of 36 grain harvesters. In parallel, agricultural
producers are receiving state backing to insulate operational
margins against seasonal market fluctuations.
"Currently, as part of state support, agricultural producers are
being provided with diesel fuel at a preferential price of 81 soms
per liter," the ministry stated on Tuesday.
Earlier, Kyrgyzstan and Italy signed a memorandum to expand
cooperation in agricultural mechanization and modern farming
technologies. The memorandum was signed between the ministry and
Italy's FederUnacoma, the National Federation of Agricultural
Machinery Manufacturers. The document is aimed at developing
cooperation in agricultural mechanization, promoting modern
agricultural technologies, implementing joint projects, and
modernizing Kyrgyzstan's agro-industrial sector.
"The parties discussed opportunities for the technical
modernization of the agricultural sector, digitalization, and the
joint production of agricultural machinery. They also confirmed the
interest of Kyrgyzstan and Italy in further expanding cooperation
in the agricultural sector," the ministry said.
