On June 4, Turkmenistan officially launched the 2025 wheat harvest season. Farmers in Ahal, Lebap, and Mary provinces were the first to begin the harvesting campaign. Harvesting in Balkan and Dashoguz provinces is scheduled to start on June 11.
This year, wheat was sown on a total area of 690,000 hectares across the country. The national goal is to harvest 1.4 million tons of wheat: 400,000 tons in Ahal, 345,000 in Mary, 310,000 in Lebap, 265,000 in Dashoguz, and 80,000 in Balkan.
Ceremonies were held in the provinces to mark the beginning of the harvest, and local agricultural workers, machine operators, and officials took part. Production-training meetings focused on ensuring smooth harvesting operations, including technical readiness, fuel supply, and maintenance logistics.
Modern high-performance combines are being used in this year’s harvest. Mobile repair and support teams are operating around the clock to service machinery and ensure uninterrupted fieldwork.
