BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 21. Turkmenistan’s
Balkan region is preparing agricultural land for the autumn wheat
sowing campaign while continuing construction of regional
facilities scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.


This is reflected in the statement, published by the government
of Turkmenistan.


This was reported by the Governor Rovshen Jumayev during a
digital meeting chaired by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov.


According to Jumayev, after the completion of grain harvesting,
local agricultural enterprises have begun preparing fields for the
next sowing season. The work includes deep plowing, land leveling
and soil preparation, as well as maintenance of tractors, sowing
equipment and other agricultural machinery.


"Inter-row cultivation, mineral fertilization, and irrigation
are being carried out in the region's cotton fields. To further
strengthen the country's food security, necessary measures are
being taken to prepare agricultural land for planting potatoes,
vegetables, and melons in the fall," the governor noted.







The meeting also covered the implementation of construction
projects in the region. Jumayev informed the president about the
progress of social, industrial and other facilities planned for
commissioning before the end of the year. Following the report,
President Serdar Berdimuhamedov instructed regional authorities to
ensure timely completion of agricultural preparations and maintain
control over construction schedules and compliance with technical
requirements.


Recently, Turkmenistan has launched preparations for the
upcoming cotton harvest and winter wheat sowing campaigns as part
of seasonal agricultural activities across the country.


"To lay the foundation for next year's wheat harvest, fields are
being ploughed and leveled, and seeds, agricultural machinery, and
tools for the upcoming sowing season are being prepared.
Furthermore, to improve water supply and the reclamation of
agricultural land in the regions, as well as to ensure the rational
and efficient use of water resources, reservoirs are being filled,
and irrigation and drainage networks are being cleaned," the report
of the government says.
