The regional chairman emphasized that thanks to the constant support of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan and the head of state Emomali Rahmon, the state of the irrigation system in the region is improving, and this creates conditions for the development of new lands. In order to ensure food security, he instructed the responsible structures to pay special attention to each hectare of arable land and create reserves of products for the autumn-winter period.
