In 2023, Zhiparkul Dzhangazieva sent vegetables to the city that she grew in her garden. Her first clients were his children, grandchildren and relatives living in the city. The farmer received a net profit of 25,000 soms from the sale of vegetables grown within the framework of the Vegetable Growing project.

“The first tomatoes are ripe. After that we sent out asparagus and cabbage. In the fall, we treated guests to broccoli, cauliflower, basil and other vegetables. They also paid money at the market price, they said: “This is your work and it should be paid,” says Zhiparkul Dzhangazieva, a resident of the village of Kara-Koo, Ton district.

The Kara-Koo AVEP vegetable growing group has begun independent preparations for spring. In the fall, earthworms were brought to 5-6 plots and biohumus was prepared. In addition, they also bought the necessary vegetable seeds with the money from the harvest. Starting in February, they plan to start growing seedlings by sowing seeds in special pots at home.

“To ensure that the residents of our village received reliable information, I distributed excess seeds and most of the vegetables for free. I showed the growing methods. "I wrapped the broccoli, parsley, dill and green onions in kitchen paper and stored them in the refrigerator." - says group leader Jainagul Musalieva.

Members of the Kara-Koo AVEP group highly appreciated the trainings conducted as part of the project. Because during the trainings they learned many secrets of farming.

The project “Vegetable Growing” is financed by the International Seed Fund (SPI - Seed programs International) and is implemented by the public foundation “AVEP”.
