TURKMENISTAN CELEBRATES HARVEST FESTIVAL: OVER 1.4 MILLION TONNES OF WHEAT HARVESTED THIS YEAR

The Harvest Festival is being celebrated across all regions of Turkmenistan, symbolizing the generosity and abundance of the Turkmen land and highlighting the respect the state shows to farmers and all agricultural workers.

As noted in the congratulatory message of the President of Turkmenistan, the country's grain growers harvested more than 1.4 million tonnes of wheat this year, successfully fulfilling the established production target. In accordance with the decision of the Head of State, efforts are underway to ensure a bountiful wheat harvest in 2027. Currently, moisture-replenishing irrigation is being carried out in wheat fields, while the necessary agrotechnical measures are being implemented in areas where crops have emerged normally.

At the same time, work continues in the country's velayats (regions) to care for winter potato crops, vegetables, melons and other agricultural crops, as well as to harvest the produce and deliver it to the population. On September 9, an important agricultural season — the cotton harvest — began across all regions of the country. This year, thanks to the efforts of tenant sericulture farmers, more than 2,100 tonnes of silkworm cocoons have been produced nationwide.

The President of Turkmenistan regularly makes working visits to the country's regions, meets with farmers and takes an interest in their well-being. This is regarded as a clear demonstration of respect for the work of agricultural producers. During these meetings, farmers' proposals are considered, along with the state of their access to seeds, water, fertilizers and modern agricultural machinery. Such attention and care, as emphasized, serve as a guarantee of prosperity for those who have devoted their lives to agriculture and contribute to strengthening the country's food independence.
