The staffing situation in the Ministry of Agriculture has improved after salary increases, - Deputy Minister
Previously, the ministry faced a shortage of specialists, particularly in the central office. However, to date, due to salary increases and the activation of practical activities, there has been a noticeable decrease in staff turnover.
“Work has indeed intensified, and this contributes to employees staying in their positions. Overall, the situation in the central office is stable, although there may be isolated cases of staff shortages in some departments,” noted Kerimaliev.
He also added that there is the highest demand for specialists in the fields of breeding livestock and seed production.
Agronomists and zootechnicians, according to him, are key to the development of the agricultural sector, as they assess soil conditions and livestock quality, as well as provide consultations on artificial insemination and other technological processes.
As part of the agricultural sector development program, five priority areas have been identified, the fifth of which focuses on science, education, and consulting activities. All necessary programs and training modules have already been prepared, and agro-training in the field is set to start on January 10, provided the schedule is adhered to.
During the winter period, agro-training events and seminars for farmers are planned in all regions of the country, where they will be able to receive consultations and clarifications on current issues in agricultural production.
In addition, the ministry manages four research institutes that are continuously engaged in consulting and educational work.
Kerimaliev also mentioned the signed memorandums with the Kyrgyz National Agrarian University named after Skryabin, the Kyrgyz-Turkish University "Manas," and Osh State University.
According to him, new specialists working in the regions are also undergoing additional training and courses aimed at improving their qualifications and optimizing work in the field.
