Introducing Advanced Farming Technology to the Kyrgyz Republic
The Kyrgyz economy relies significantly on the agricultural sector, employing 30% of the total population. However, there is a notable lack of investment in agricultural infrastructure. MIGA has issued a guarantee of $3.89 million to support a smart farm near Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. This project has created employment opportunities for over 100 people, with a majority being women who typically lack opportunities to work in larger, industrial-sized farms.
