On September 11, an important agricultural campaign began in Turkmenistan – cotton harvesting, TDH reports.

With the blessing of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, the harvesting of the crop, which is key for the country's agro-industrial complex, has begun in the country's velayats. The head of state wished cotton growers and all agricultural workers great success in their work.

Cotton growing plays an important role in the economy of Turkmenistan, contributing to the implementation of national programs for import substitution and increasing export potential. The country's natural and climatic conditions are favorable for growing various varieties of cotton, which makes cotton fiber a valuable raw material for the textile industry, whose products are in demand on the world market.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov emphasized the importance of timely and high-quality implementation of agricultural activities for a successful harvest.

As part of the campaign, round-the-clock technical and service maintenance of equipment has been organized, and conditions have been created for productive work and rest for workers. The beginning of the harvest was traditionally blessed by venerable elders, who offered prayers for the well-being and prosperity of the country.
