There are the first interim results of the project in Chirokchi

On October 1, 2015 in the framework of our project, drilling depth of 100 meters and a 5-hectare plot for planting pistachio and almond in the village Arrabandi, in the Chirakchi District, in Kashkadarya region, was completed. The deep well pump has been set to raise the water powered by 220 volts. This pump was installed as temporary, to wash the well and then continue to be used, if there are problems with the main pump, which will work on solar energy.

Also, an agreement with the Karshi Institute named after Mirzaev (a branch of the Tashkent Institute in Kashkadarya) was concluded for the purchase of grafted seedlings of almond sort "Space".

The day of landing almond is tentatively scheduled for November 15, 2015. Planting will be carried out in conjunction with the staff of the Institute.

We will wait for the latest news.
