One of successful projects to support the business of women, launched jointly with ADB in the Talas province, was a value added chain project. It provides for financing the acquisition of dairy cows for the subsequent delivery of milk to dairy processing plant. I want to emphasize that this project has become a good opportunity to develop sustainable mutually beneficial economic relations, where farmers are guaranteed to sell produced milk at favorable prices and have the opportunity to improve the breed and livestock, thereby increasing the volume of milk yields”.
