The Tebigy Ekin farm in Charjew district, Lebap province, harvested 2,000 tons of wheat this year, while potato yields reached 180 centners per hectare. Alongside grain and vegetable crops, the farm also grows cotton and engages in fruit growing and viticulture, the Golden Age electronic newspaper reported.
Founded in 2018, the farm allocated 400 hectares to wheat, 100 hectares to cotton, 268 hectares to potatoes and 130 hectares to carrots this year. Wheat yields reached 50 centners per hectare, while potato yields totaled 180 centners per hectare.
Fruit growing and viticulture are also important areas of the farm’s operations. Cherries, peaches, plums, cherry plums and apples are grown on 23 hectares. Vineyards cover an additional nine hectares.
The farm has two operational greenhouses, while a third is nearing completion. About 140 people work at the farm. Its fleet of agricultural machinery is primarily made up of high-performance John Deere equipment.
Under a signed contract, part of the farm’s produce is supplied to the Miwe provincial agricultural and industrial association, while the rest is distributed to retail outlets across the region.
In addition to crop production, Tebigy Ekin also breeds Akhal-Teke horses. The farm’s horses regularly compete in seasonal equestrian events held at the provincial equestrian sports complex, where they win prizes.
