IMPORTED STRAWBERRY VARIETIES ARE SPREADING IN TON DISTRICT
Women farmers in the villages of Shor-Bulak, Eshperov of Ton district, and students of vocational school No. 81 began growing the Albion and Monterey strawberry varieties imported from Italy and Turkey in the spring of 2024. Members of farmer groups and students of the vocational school, using the knowledge gained during practical trainings held on demonstration plots, received a bountiful harvest due to the precise implementation of agricultural technology work and the timely supply of nutrients.
Along with harvesting, they also worked on growing seedlings for the next farmer groups. Taking into account the "Seedling Relay", 1,500 strawberry seedlings were handed over to members of farmer groups in the villages of Bokonbaeva, Tort-Kul and Kara-Koo participating in the project at the end of August for autumn planting.
This project is funded by the Seed Fund International (SPI – Seed Programs International) and is implemented by the public foundation AVEP.
