06/23/2025, 09:44Kyrgyzstan is stepping up the development of low-yield land, which covers an area of 614,000 hectares in the country. Under Decree No. 243, citizens and migrant workers are offered the opportunity to lease this land for agricultural use and set up cooperatives for joint farming.
A striking example is farmer Tolubai Dzhalilov from the Batken region, who leased pasture land for 20 years and planted 4,500 apricot seedlings. He built a reservoir and introduced a drip irrigation system, and while the trees are not yet bearing fruit, he grows melons and vegetables, which provide a stable income.
The Ministry of Water Resources and Agriculture sees this initiative as an opportunity not only to improve food security, but also to create new jobs and increase incomes in the regions by transforming low-yield land into efficient agricultural projects.
