In 2024 in the Lebap velayat a rich rice harvest was collected, which is the result of carefully organized work at all stages of growing and harvesting this important food crop. Within the framework of the year "The Fount of Wisdom Magtymguly Fragi" significant success was achieved thanks to the work of rice farmers who worked hard to achieve high results.
10,200 hectares of rice have been sown this agricultural year in the Lebap velayat. The average yield is 46.47 centners per hectare, which allows us to expect a total yield of 47,400 tons. Particular attention was paid to proper care of crops in accordance with agricultural standards, which contributed to the formation of a rich harvest.
In the largest farms of the velayat — Sayat, Charjev and Danev districts — rice is sown on an area of 3,140, 3,080 and 2,160 hectares respectively. These areas make a significant contribution to the overall production volume, ensuring the successful completion of the harvest.
An important aspect of preparation for the season was the maintenance and repair of agricultural machinery, including combines and rice mills, which ensures uninterrupted harvesting and processing of the crop. The state also supported agricultural producers by increasing the purchase price of rice by 1,500 manat per ton, which encouraged farmers to work more productively.
These measures allow us to expect a successful completion of the harvesting campaign and the achievement of the set rice harvesting targets in the Lebap velayat.
