Kyrgyzstan is celebrating a historic agricultural achievement as the country nears the completion of its annual harvest and officially registers a new world record for tomato yield. The breakthrough marks a milestone for the nation’s farming sector and highlights the rapid modernization of its agricultural techniques.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, farms across the Chüy and Osh regions reported exceptional productivity this season, driven by improved irrigation systems, high-yield seed varieties, and climate-optimized cultivation practices. The result: an unprecedented tomato yield of over 95 tonnes per hectare, surpassing the previous world record held by a Mediterranean farming region.
Agricultural officials say the record-setting performance is a reflection of long-term investments in hybrid seed development and greenhouse expansion. “This achievement puts Kyrgyzstan on the global map for sustainable, high-efficiency agriculture,” said Deputy Agriculture Minister Ermek Tursunov. “Our farmers have shown what can be accomplished with innovation and dedication.”
Farmers across the country expressed pride in the accomplishment, noting that favorable weather conditions and strong government support played a key role. Many expect the economic impact to be significant, with increased exports to neighboring Central Asian markets already underway.
Experts believe the record yield could attract international interest in Kyrgyz farming technologies and partnerships for large-scale greenhouse farming.
With only a small portion of the harvest left to process, officials confirm that yields remain consistently high across all regions, cementing this year as one of the most successful in the nation’s agricultural history.
