POTATO HARVESTING IN THE SUGHD REGION DISTRICTS

Every year, as part of the “Strengthening Resilience of the Agriculture Sector Project”, the State Institution “Agriculture Entrepreneurship Development” supplies high-quality, certified, high-yielding and climate-adapted seeds of various agricultural crops, both local and produced abroad, to seed producers and vulnerable farms (project beneficiaries) of the country to develop the seed sector.

Farmers in the country effectively use these high-quality seeds and achieve high yields every season.

This year, as part of the project, the institution provided the region vulnerable farms (beneficiaries) with 620 tons of high-quality potato seeds of the Evolution, Picasso and Arizona varieties. Favorable weather conditions and timely implementation of agrotechnical measures ensured good growth and increased yields.

During the biological yield assessment (testing), the sector specialists stated that this year harvest was very good, and serious steps are being taken to develop the seed sector.

Potato harvesting has now begun in the districts of Kuhistoni Mastchoh (Mountain Matchoh), Devashtich and Shahristan of the Sughd region, and farmers are striving to harvest a rich yield on time and without losses.
