- During the plenary session of the Jogorku Kenesh on February 11, 2026, Deputy Bolot Saginamev raised the issue of irrigation water distribution in the Issyk-Kul region.

He proposed to install two sluices in the villages of the region to address this problem.

In response, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture Bakyt Torobaev stated that the issue would be taken under consideration.

The deputy also inquired about when the issuance of loans at a rate of 2% per annum for the development of drip irrigation systems would begin.

Torobaev assured that a solution would be found within a month.

Furthermore, he noted that it is necessary to transition to drip irrigation throughout the Issyk-Kul region.

“We cannot constantly allocate water solely for fields; it is also important to care for the filling of Lake Issyk-Kul,” he emphasized.

At this time, information was presented from the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic regarding preparations for spring field and economic activities in 2026 in the country.
