In the Chuy region, in the Panfilov district, farmer Bektur Junushaliev, who became the champion in apples at the republican forum, is actively developing the tourism sector in his village located at the foothills of the mountains.

Currently, the republic is hosting the forum "Agrodialog - 2026," where 46-year-old Junushaliev from the village of Chaldybar presented his experience and ideas aimed at developing tourism.

“The orchard is located in the village of Taldy-Bulak, between two mountain ranges. My native village is Kenjebay. In my youth, when I herded sheep in these places, I was always inspired by the natural beauty and dreamed of creating my own orchard. This dream came true, and at the age of 31, I planted apple trees, apricots, grapes, and other crops. Of course, there were difficulties along the way: the land at the foot of the mountains turned out to be rocky. I put in a lot of effort, loosening the soil and clearing it of stones, and began to develop horticulture,” Bektur shared.

On a plot of 2.5 hectares, he currently grows varieties of golden and Semerenko apples, as well as pears, apricots, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, and other fruits. The yield level is very high, which allowed him to become a winner at the "Agrodialog - 2026" forum. Interest in his orchard, located in a picturesque area, is growing. Last year, he hosted guests from China, America, Germany, and Japan, who exchanged experiences and admired the beauty of nature. “This is not only my pride but also the pride of the entire nation. Foreigners not only got acquainted with our orchard but also enjoyed the beauty of the Kyrgyz land,” noted the farmer.

He added that in addition to growing fruits and berries, he cultivates different varieties of flowers and transforms the foothills into a blooming garden.

“I love flowers — they are part of my character. Early in the morning, I water them and talk to them, and they seem to hear me. Against such beautiful nature, tourists have started to come to us. Now I will also focus on developing tourism,” Bektur added.
