Two tree nurseries completed in Turkmenistan

Within the framework of the project "Integrated management of natural resources in drought-prone and saline agricultural landscapes of Central Asia and Turkey", implemented by the Ministry of Environmental Protection of Turkmenistan jointly with FAO/GEF, the development of two tree nurseries in the Kopetdag State Reserve has been completed. This is reported by the Internet publication "Turkmenistan: Golden Age".

Necessary equipment and inventory were purchased for the project implementation. The project will increase the area of pistachio, hawthorn, almond, blackberry and cherry orchards, as well as become a source of planting material for deciduous and coniferous trees.

The project is aimed at improving microclimatic and environmental conditions, as well as contributing to the growth of berry, fruit and nut production and, as a consequence, increasing the income of local agricultural producers.
