ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, July 10. Farmers in Turkmenistan are successfully completing the wheat harvest season in all regions of the country, Trend reports.
Tangryguly Atakhallyev, Deputy Chairman of the Government of Turkmenistan, asserted this during a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers.
According to him, thanks to the state's unwavering backing, farmers in Turkmenistan have hit the jackpot by depositing over 1.2 million tons of grain.
Atakhallyev noted that the resulting crop is transported from the reception points to Zarnokhralishsha, and timely payments are made with producers for the delivered grain.
Furthermore, he added that at the moment, plowing is underway in the areas after Kosovitsa, seeds are being harvested for the upcoming sowing campaign.
Meanwhile, in early February of this year, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov signed a decree on a significant increase in public procurement prices for wheat.
Compared with the purchase prices that have been set since 2019, the price per ton of wheat has been raised 2.5 times, from 800 Turkmen manat ($229) to 2000 Turkmen manat ($572.5).
The country planted winter wheat last year on an area of about 690,000 hectares of land, hoping to reap a bumper crop of about 1.4 million tons of products this year.
