"Secrets to a Successful farm garden: Bank Kompanion's Agro-Training in the Jalal-Abad Region"

As part of its expert support for agriculture and ecological initiatives, Bank Kompanion conducted an agro-training in the Aksy District of the Jalal-Abad region. The training took place across four localities and gathered over 60 participants, including farmers, orchard owners, and local residents.

The main focus of the training was sustainable agricultural development and methods for increasing crop yields while considering ecological factors. One of the most discussed topics was the importance of bees in the ecosystem of orchards.

Why are bees so important?

Bees are not just insects; they are hard workers that play a crucial role in pollinating plants. For rural orchards, this is of great significance, as effective pollination impacts not only the quantity of fruits but also their quality. Training participants learned that proper care for bees can significantly increase yields and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers.

Special attention was given to practical advice for local orchardists. The initiative group from the village of Kashka-Suu shared a simple yet effective method for attracting bees. The idea is as follows: a few days before trees begin to bloom, dissolve 1 kg of sugar in 10 liters of water and spray it over the orchards. This attracts bees and other pollinating insects, which increases their presence on the trees during the flowering period.

"This training was very useful for me. We always knew that bees are important, but now I understand how to actively attract them to the orchards to increase yields. I will definitely apply these tips in my work and share them with my neighbors."

Sustainable Agriculture: The Key to a Successful Future

In addition, other aspects of sustainable agriculture were discussed during the training. Emphasis was placed on agronomic methods for improving soil fertility, the proper use of water, and organic pest control methods. Experts' advice helped participants realize the importance of transitioning to environmentally-friendly agriculture, which not only brings economic benefits but also preserves the health of the environment.

Bank Kompanion’s Contribution to Regional Development

For over 20 years, Bank Kompanion has been actively supporting regional farmers through various educational and consulting programs. The training in Aksy was another step towards strengthening ties with local agricultural producers and fostering sustainable agribusiness. The bank understands the importance of supporting small and medium-sized farms, as they are the foundation of rural economies.

Such events not only help increase local knowledge but also strengthen the relationship between the bank and entrepreneurs. Bank Kompanion will continue to hold similar training sessions and consultations to support producers in their efforts to grow and develop sustainably.

The Aksy training is another step toward greater collaboration and teamwork, which will bear fruit not only in the form of good harvests but also in ecological harmony with nature.
