On June 28, another session in the series on economic journalism took place, focusing on "Agribusiness and Food Security in the Kyrgyz Republic." The event was attended by Daniyar Januzakov, Head of the Department for Implementation of Decisions on Food Security at the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic, Rustam Baltabaev, Executive Director of the Association for the Development of the Agro-Industrial Complex of the Kyrgyz Republic, and media representatives.

During the meeting, participants discussed the current challenges of agribusiness, ways to overcome them, government programs and support measures for the agricultural sector, innovative technologies and approaches in agriculture, and the role of cooperatives and small businesses in ensuring food security.

Daniyar Januzakov emphasized that, in order to ensure food security, work is being carried out on the development of agricultural clusters. He also pointed out the need to improve educational programs and enhance the qualifications of specialists in the field of agriculture.

Rustam Baltabaev shared the initiative to grant "Special Status" to domestic enterprises, which will receive government support upon fulfilling certain obligations. According to him, this will stimulate the development of the agro-industrial complex and increase its competitiveness.

Guests noted that cooperatives and small businesses play a key role in ensuring food security, offering flexible and innovative solutions to improve the efficiency of production and distribution of agricultural products.

During the discussion, successful examples of the implementation of innovative technologies in agriculture were also considered, such as process automation, the use of drones for field monitoring, and the application of advanced soil treatment methods. Participants noted that such technologies can significantly increase yields and product quality.

We thank all participants for their active participation and valuable discussion. We hope that today's meeting helped to further reveal the topic of food security, its benefits for agricultural enterprises and small businesses, and its importance for the sustainable development of the country.
