The Agriculture Technology Program for Turkmenistan (AgTech) takes a comprehensive approach to agricultural development in Turkmenistan by implementing high-impact activities in the livestock and greenhouse horticulture sectors to achieve the two objectives: improve genetics, education and organizations for private livestock producers; introduce successful agribusiness practices.
Third quarter (April-June 2011) project activities were enhanced by accomplishments realized during quarter two. The program implemented Training-of-Trainers sessions, facilitated the reconstruction of greenhouses throughout the region, and worked with an outside expert and local farmers to initiate seed trials necessary for determining the best products for Turkmen soil conditions. The third quarter continued to procure additional artificial insemination (AI) supplies for the development of an AI training center, made headway in establishing a suitable feed mix and practical tools for the Program’s livestock component, and established working relationships with local entrepreneurs and international organizations. By gathering relevant data and utilizing external expertise, the Program has continued to tailor the training curriculum to the demands of the participating farmers and AI practitioners.
