Kyrgyzstan will not face problems with irrigation water like last year - Ministry of Agriculture

Bishkek, June 13, 2022. / Kabar /. There will be no last year's problems with irrigation water on the same scale, Minister of Agriculture Askarbek Dzhanybekov told during a briefing in Bishkek. He said that this year there will be no serious crop losses due to rainfall and water supply for irrigation, especially since there is more rainfall this year. “There will be no problems with irrigation water on the same scale last year. Firstly, because we have carried out serious work to prepare the irrigation network for the growing season of this year. Six times more funds have been allocated from the republican budget, and our water specialists have used 630 million soms to prepare the irrigation network, which will reduce losses during water transportation and, of course, rainfall,” the minister said.
