As part of the “Vegetable growing” project, the public foundation “AVEP” provided vegetable and corn seeds, as well as strawberry seedlings, to farmer groups.

Albion and Monterey strawberry varieties imported from Italy and Turkey were given to members of farmer groups in the villages of Eshperov and Shor-Bulak. In the villages of Bokonbaev, Tort-Kul, Kara-Koo, which have been working in the project for the second year, corn seeds and fertilizers were supplied.

This year, seeds of 16 types of vegetable crops were transferred to farmer groups created in the villages of Ak-Sai, Tuura-Suu, Kara-Suu.

As usual, in each direction, demonstration sites were organized and investments were planned. For example, a drip irrigation system with all the necessary equipment and a film that can be laid under the strawberries were installed on the strawberry demonstration plots. Film and starters are also supplied for making silage. The necessary gardening tools, a drip irrigation system and a tank were provided to the vegetable demonstration plots.

The vocational school №81, which works as a partner in the project, was given the above-mentioned strawberry seeds and seedlings and organized demonstration plots in 3 areas; they were also supplied with the necessary investments. With the arrival of spring, the work of the project began intensively.

This project is financed by the Seed Program International (SPI), and implemented by the AVEP public fund.
