At a meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh, the Deputy Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan and Minister of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry Bakyt Torobaev announced plans to transition the Issyk-Kul region to drip and sprinkler irrigation. He noted that farmers who choose these irrigation methods will have access to preferential loans at a rate of 2 percent.

According to Torobaev, the process of providing loans will begin within the next month. He also emphasized the importance of fully transitioning the region to drip irrigation.

“Switching to drip irrigation will increase the water supply to Issyk-Kul. Otherwise, if all the water is used for agricultural needs, it may not reach Issyk-Kul,” the minister explained.
