Adylbek Kasymaliev also shared successes in the export of agricultural products: more than 60 types of goods have begun to be supplied to over 80 countries worldwide.

- increasing the volume of agricultural production by 30 percent;
- doubling the physical volume of agricultural product processing;
- reducing water losses to 15 percent;
- expanding the area of irrigated land by 15,000 hectares;
- improving water supply for 93,000 hectares of land.
"Considering the significance of water resources, 12.3 billion soms are planned to be allocated to the irrigation sector in 2026. In total, 41.1 billion soms are planned to be directed to agriculture, which is 9.6 billion more than in 2025, when funding amounted to 31.5 billion soms," he added.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister emphasized the need to enhance the role of science and education in the agricultural sector and in the economy as a whole.
