At a meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh on February 11, Minister of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry Bakyt Torobaev stated the need for the Issyk-Kul region to switch to drip irrigation.

According to him, preserving Lake Issyk-Kul is a priority. "If farmers continue to take all the water from the BSR and BDR, the lake will not be able to replenish," he noted, adding that full implementation of drip irrigation in the region is planned in the near future.

Moreover, Torobaev announced that a decision will be made within a month regarding the provision of loans for the purchase of drip irrigation equipment at a low interest rate — only 2%.
