Farmers in the Aravan District have begun exporting vegetables from the new harvest

In the Aravan District of the Osh Region, fruit and vegetables ripen 2–3 weeks earlier than in other regions. The ‘Basay’ variety of cabbage is now ripe, and farmers have already begun exporting their produce.

Local cabbage varieties are expected to ripen in the coming days and will be supplied to the domestic market. In addition, sales of fresh garlic from the new harvest will begin shortly.
Specialists from the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry are assisting farmers in preparing the necessary documents for exporting their produce.

According to Galdarbek Madaliev, head of the Aravan District Department of Agricultural Development, cabbage is sent for export first, followed by cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries and cherries, which ripen and are exported in succession.

It is worth noting that cabbage grown in our country is mainly exported to Kazakhstan and Russia.
