Ministry of Agriculture of the Kyrgyz Republic Kievskaya street 96A Bishkek 720040 Tel.: +(996 312) 62 36 16 Fax:+ (996 312) 62 36 32 June 16, 2011 To: Mr. Hiqmet Demiri, Chief of Party of KAED project
Dear Mr. Demiri, Ministry of Agriculture of the Kyrgyz Republic would like to express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude for the support that your project provided through Voucher Program to farmers, seed farms and cooperative farms. It is important to note that the assistance was provided in the time of extreme need. Your assistance targeted low-income farms that were in desperate need of seed material and seed farms that could not afford purchasing necessary super elite and elite seeds. Your support significantly reduced the shortage of seed material in the country, expanded the acreage sown with crops compared to last year and increased the use of high-quality certified varieties and hybrids. This will set the stage for receiving high yields of agricultural crops in the future. Mr. Demiri, we wish you and your team further success in your responsible job in helping Kyrgyzstan to prosper.
Sincerely, Minister Bekov
