Seed Potato Harvesting in the Foothill Areas of Sughd Region

This year, seed farms in Sughd Region (project beneficiaries), taking advantage of favorable weather conditions, timely conducted sowing operations, including the planting of potatoes, on an area of 83 hectares. As a result of proper adherence to agricultural techniques, crop yields have significantly increased, and farmers have begun harvesting.

It is worth noting that with the support of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, the State Institution “Agriculture Entrepreneurship Development” provided high-quality elite-certified seed potatoes of the “Evolution”, “Picasso”, and “Arizona” varieties to seed farms across the country as part of the “Strengthening Resilience of the Agriculture Sector” project for the sowing campaign.

Motivated by the continued attention from the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, seed farms are committed to harvesting the crops on time and without losses.

Currently, average yields are between 750-850 centners per hectare, with some areas reaching up to 950 centners per hectare, marking a significant step forward in the development of seed farming.
