ACCESS OF FARMS TO AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY ATTACHMENTS UNDER THE PROJECT

This year, in order to improve the material and technical base of vulnerable farms in the country, the State Institution “Agriculture Entrepreneurship Development” within the “Strengthening Resilience of the Agriculture Sector Project”, has allocated 150 small-sized tractors with trailers to vulnerable farms across the country.

Additionally, to further improve the material and technical base of vulnerable farms in the country, the following types of agricultural machinery attachments will be procured and distributed to vulnerable farms: double and five-hull ploughs, potato harvesters and potato diggers, boom and pneumatic sprayers, fertilizer spreaders, wheat harvester, disc harrow, grain and vegetable seeders, cultivators and semi-trailers for water transportation.

Currently, the distribution of agricultural machinery attachments has begun nationwide and initially 90 units of them were delivered to vulnerable farms in the GBAR (Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region) towns and districts, and more than 20 units – to the Sino, Firdavsi and Shohmansur areas of Dushanbe.

The handover ceremony of transferring the agricultural machinery attachments was attended by a commission comprising representatives from the towns and districts’ executive bodies of state authorities, who, according to the plan, will gradually transfer the attachments to vulnerable farms in the coming days.

Today, the farmers (project beneficiaries) are grateful for the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan consistent support and determined to work diligently to increase crop yields, thereby contributing to food security of the country population.
