According to the ministry, Erlist Akunbekov emphasized that modernizing agricultural machinery and providing farmers with affordable equipment is a key priority for Kyrgyzstan.

He noted that local production would help reduce both the cost of the machinery itself and delivery expenses.

According to the data, over the past five years, more than 13,000 units of agricultural machinery, valued at a total of 36.8 billion soms have been provided to farmers through leasing programs.

Additionally, cooperation with the Belneftekhim concern and the Zhdanovichi agro-combine was also discussed.

Furthermore, following the first interregional forum between Kyrgyzstan and Belarus held on November 10, six documents were signed, aimed at developing trade-economic, scientific-technical, and cultural cooperation, establishing roadmaps for the 2027–2029 period, and forging sister-city ties.
