According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the grain harvest has already begun, and the growth rate of the agro-industrial complex in January-May was 113% compared to the same period last year. Investment in agriculture has also been fulfilled — by 311.8%.

T. Atahallyev noted that harvesting has begun in the Ahal, Lebap and Mary velayats. In the Balkan and Dashoguz velayats, preparations are actively underway for the start of harvesting, scheduled for 11 June.

The Deputy Prime Minister also highlighted the successes of silk producers: over 2,100 tonnes of silkworm cocoons have been harvested across the country, which indicates that contractual obligations have been fully met.
