Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan Akylbek Zhaparov took part in the opening ceremony of the AgroTechExpo-2021 exhibition in Bishkek, timed to celebrate the professional holiday of workers of the agricultural sector of the Kyrgyz Republic.

In his speech, the chairman of the Cabinet praised the work of agricultural workers, noting that this year they have demonstrated perseverance and the highest professionalism.

“Despite the drought and low water levels, domestic agrarians were able to make a significant contribution to meeting the food needs of the population. Benefits, loans, support for farmers in adverse weather conditions, export subsidies and a whole set of support measures for fertilizers, transport and fuel will be continued. Now we have the task to develop our own production capacity and improve the export potential of the agricultural sector,” said Zhaparov.

The head of the Cabinet of Ministers awarded personal watches to agricultural workers, who made a significant contribution to the development of the agricultural sector, and toured the agricultural machinery and the exhibition of agricultural products produced in the regions of the republic.

The exhibition features dozens of varieties of potatoes, apples, pears and various dairy products.
