Food Abundance: Components of Success

An abundance of fresh vegetables and fruit, a wide variety of bakeries and confectioneries, dairy and meat products – it is a given today illustrating the quality of life of the people. At the same time, it is an illustration of the level of the development of the domestic agro-industrial sector. Currently, Turkmenistan not only meets the domestic demands in a wide variety of food products, but also exports them to neighbouring and remote countries. Entrepreneurs make a significant contribution to developing the agro-industrial sector and ensuring an abundant food supply. Today, we can rightfully say that an abundant food supply is an outcome of the large-scale reforms launched by the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and implemented in the period of the Revival of the New Era of the Powerful State under the leadership of our esteemed President Serdar Berdimuhamedov.

A Miracle Tree from the Sumbar Valley

The visiting card of mountainous Magtymguly etrap in the Balkan velayat is the Sumbar and Chendir gorges, immersed in greenery, where various fruit trees grow, including the pomegranate. This tree holds the palm: in gardens, it is rightfully considered a symbol of the beauty and fertility of the generous Turkmen land. The pomegranate is not only a fruit tree, but also a decorative one; it adds bright colours to the streets in the centre of Magtymguly etrap and the villages where masters of their craft live and work. A gardener-tenant from the Sumbar farmers’ association Bibihajar Hojageldiyeva has been growing fruit trees for several years. The experienced gardener received the Medals “Watana bolan söýgüsi üçin” and “Gaýrat” for her modest work, which inspires her to work with renewed energy.

Rehabilitating Nature through Desertification Control

The global factor within the mandate of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification is land degradation as a result of natural and anthropogenic processes, aggravated by climate aridisation. This phenomenon can be curbed by land reclamation, the restoration of soil fertility in irrigated areas and the improvement of forage capacity of Karakum pastures. The territory of Turkmenistan is located in the zone of influence of the Karakum Desert where ecosystems are fragile, and careless interference in the “affairs of nature” can worsen the state of the soil and vegetation cover and lead to a decrease in the yield of pastures which are used year-round for animal husbandry. Millions of hectares of desert pastures annually produce hundreds of thousands of tonnes of forage products, but they are far from being used to the full extent due to their insufficient watering. However, the Karakum Desert is not only a forage base, but also an ecological environment, therefore, pasture forage consumption rates are applied, given the need to conserve biodiversity and prevent the depletion of natural pastures. A scheme is used to calculate the number of livestock per unit of land area, the so-called capacity indicator, which is one of the main concepts of the Law of Turkmenistan “On Pastures”. An increase in the number of grazing sheep requires an increase in pasture productivity thr

We produce ourselves

Fresh Bread on Dastarhan In recent years, bread-baking technologists have developed dozens of new types of products from white wheat flour of the highest and first grades and with the addition of bran. These are chureks and loaves called “Bagtyýarlyk”, “Kepekli”, “Bugdaýly”, “Nowruz”, “Diýar” and others. Healthy dietary black bread is not forgotten. The state baking sector produces a total of 200 types of bread, including 120 types of national one. Fresh bread is sold through the chain of grocery outlets of the Ministry of Trade and Foreign Economic Relations and brand stores of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment Protection located throughout the country. To provide the population with bread in the structure of the agro-ecological establishment, a large branched infrastructure, consisting of elevators and bakeries, operates. They are located in all five velayats, with an average of three in each region. The largest of them are designed for the simultaneous storage of up to 100 thousand tonnes of grain products. The storage facilities easily accommodate food and seed wheat with a reserve for a year in advance and also ensure the safety of cereals of other types. For example, the Dashoguz velayat, in addition to wheat and rice, also produces barley, mung beans, sesame, beans and other types of cereals and legumes, including peas as a feed additive. All cere
