Status of wheat sowing in country’s seed and vulnerable farms 

Every year, with the support of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, the State Institution “Agriculture Entrepreneurship Development” under the implementation of the “Strengthening Resilience of the Agriculture Sector Project” provides to the country’s seed and vulnerable farms high-quality certified seeds to increase crop yields, seed production and ensure the country’s food security.

Last year in the frame of the “Strengthening Resilience of the Agriculture Sector Project” 500 tons of high-quality wheat seeds of Timiryazevka-150 and Alekseich varieties were imported from abroad by State Institution. According to the list of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Institution provided seeds to 115 country’s seed farms for the 2024 autumn sowing and the 2025 harvest.

Imported seeds are of the elite group, are certified, high-yielding, and suitable for the climatic conditions of Tajikistan.

Also, last year for the 2024 autumn sowing, 1100 tons of wheat seeds of Alekseich, Timiryazevka-150 and Grom varieties were provided to 5055 vulnerable farms of the country. Seeds of these varieties are of the first reproductive group and are intended for reproduction, obtained from seed farms of the country.

Farmers of the country (project beneficiaries), effectively used favorable autumn weather and the wheat autumn sowing was completed on time at the specified dates.

At present, during the monitoring, the field’s specialists noted that the condition of its growth in the fields is really favorable, and if agricultural practices are followed, farmers can obtain the desired harvest.

The beneficiaries of the project believe that the yield of this crop will increase many times compared to the last year and thus will contribute to the supply of domestic markets.
