The forum was organized by the Department of Agricultural Crop and Horticulture Expertise under the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic in collaboration with the Agrolead Group of Companies and the Kyrgyz Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture (KNIIZ).
The main task of the meeting was to emphasize the strategic importance of seed production as a critical element for increasing the yield and competitiveness of the country's agricultural sector.
Significant attention was paid to raising farmers' awareness of the role of quality seeds, attracting investments in this area, and creating a systematic approach to its development.
The forum served as a platform for discussing existing problems such as the lack of high-quality seeds, outdated breeding bases, and insufficient cooperation between science, business, and government structures. Participants sought to unite efforts to develop effective solutions.
Within the framework of the forum, panel discussions, presentations from practitioners, and a specialized exhibition of seeds and technologies took place.
Issues related to the strategy of national policy in seed production, the implementation of modern technologies, the role of cooperatives and private farms, as well as mechanisms for ensuring quality and certification of seed material were discussed.
As a result of the event, it is planned to adopt a resolution with specific proposals for the development of the industry and to sign a memorandum of cooperation between the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Dutch company HZPC, and the Agrolead Group of Companies.
This meeting was an important step towards creating a sustainable, innovative, and competitive seed production system in Kyrgyzstan.
