02/11/2026, 11:46Deputy Prime Minister Bakyt Torobaev announced that farmers who switch to drip and sprinkler irrigation will be offered preferential loans at 2% interest. He made this announcement while answering questions from MPs at a session of the Jogorku Kenesh.
According to the minister, loans for this purpose will begin to be issued as early as next month.
Bakyt Torobaev also emphasized the need for the Issyk-Kul region to switch completely to drip irrigation.
"If we switch to drip irrigation, more water will flow into Issyk-Kul. If we use all the water for agriculture, it may not reach Issyk-Kul. Therefore, we have set the goal of completely transitioning the Issyk-Kul region to drip and sprinkler irrigation", — said Minister Bakyt Torobaev.
