Three state investment projects in the field of agriculture with a total value of over $39 million are being implemented in Tajikistan, "Khovar" reports, citing the State Committee on Investments and State Property Management of Tajikistan.
One of these projects, the "Supporting Agriculture through Cooperatives" project, is being carried out through state investments and funding from the International Fund for Agricultural Development. It commenced in April of the current year and is scheduled to continue until 2030.
Since 2021, another project called "Increasing Agriculture Resilience" has been in progress. The World Bank is involved in its effective implementation, and the project is expected to be completed by 2026. The primary objective of this project is to strengthen the foundation of Tajikistan's sustainable agricultural sector by increasing access to high-quality seeds, climate-resilient seedlings, improving farmers' and agricultural enterprises' access to agri-logistic services.
It has been stated that the funds mobilized within the framework of these projects will be directed towards creating a favorable environment, conducting research, enhancing the capacity of national agricultural institutions in research and development to adapt existing technologies to local conditions, increasing seed, seedling, and planting material production, ensuring quality, supporting the activities of agro-logistic centers, real-time monitoring of agricultural production, land use, and agrometeorology.
