According to him, despite the fact that farmers are actively engaged in growing and harvesting crops, they face a lack of suitable conditions for storage. Existing warehouses often do not meet the necessary standards, and the absence of refrigeration equipment leads to rapid spoilage of products — just 10 days after harvesting.
"In this regard, the government has already allocated funds for the development of the necessary infrastructure. In particular, farmers are being supported in developing business plans and preparing projects," he noted.
Additionally, funding through banks at 6% per annum is planned for the construction of warehouses, refrigeration units, and other storage facilities.
Torobaev also reported that a new project will be launched in the next two to three months, which will provide additional funds for the construction of storage facilities, processing enterprises, and small production workshops.
"A corresponding resolution is currently being developed," he added.
The minister emphasized that in the future, it is planned to create at least one warehouse or logistics center for every 500 hectares of agricultural land.
