Land issues were discussed at the event on the priorities for the lease of agricultural land, further development of fruit and vegetable clusters and farms.
“For the development of small intensive orchards, vineyards and fruit and vegetable growing at the expense of international financial institutions, unsecured loans up to 100 million soums will be provided at a preferential rate of 14%. Let everyone take this into account – the money is ready, now they have to use it wisely.
