(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 27. Deutsche
Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH continues
to support increasing Kyrgyzstan's farming productivity in
Jalal-Abad region, Spokesperson of GIZ, told Trend.
Within the framework of the Integrated Rural Development
Programme, GIZ connects small Kyrgyz family farms so that they can
cooperate and become more productive, for example by sharing
equipment or by buying seeds and fertilizer.
'In total, 22 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) received
grants for rural development amounting to 4.6 million euros. Some
of the NGOs work on participatory economic planning, some support
the agricultural sector, others the tourism industry,' the
spokesperson said.
'More than 2,000 farmers have become active members in almost
100 local producer groups and learn about innovative and
environment-friendlier methods of crop cultivation,' he added.
The German federal enterprise also said that during the COVID-19
outbreak, since farmers could keep working in the fields, the
agriculture industry of Kyrgyzstan saw almost no negative
effects.
GIZ's Integrated Rural Development Programme in Kyrgyzstan has
been running since October 2018, which supports local farmers in
becoming more competitive, and is expected to finish in 2023.
