The Minister of Agriculture of Bashkiria Ilshat Fazrakhmanov, speaking at the plenary session of the Kurultai, said that next year the republic will spend over 1 billion rubles on the construction of reclamation systems with an area of 4,7 thousand hectares. The work will be carried out within the framework of the state program for the effective involvement of agricultural land in the turnover. By 2030, the area of irrigated land in the republic should reach 100 thousand hectares.
The conditions of this year show that in order to minimize the impact on the harvest of climatic anomalies and unfavorable weather conditions, preserve and increase the potential of soil fertility, and protect against erosion, it is necessary to develop land reclamation. Already this year, two irrigation systems for agricultural land with a total area of 468 hectares and a cost of 140 million rubles were put into operation in Bashkiria.
