Kyrgyzstan Hosts 'Aidai Fest 2026' to Boost Agricultural Sector

The agricultural festival "Aidai Fest 2026," held in the Chuy region, successfully brought together a diverse group of stakeholders from across Kyrgyzstan. Organized by OJSC "ABank," the event underscored the nation's commitment to developing its vital agro-industrial sector and bolstering food security. The festival served as a crucial platform for farmers and agricultural producers to connect with the business community and explore new technologies and modern approaches.

The highlight of the festival was the plowing championship, a testament to the skill and precision of Kyrgyzstani mechanizers. The competition not only showcased local talent but also provided a pathway for national representation in international events, with the top performers earning the chance to compete in Russia, their participation fully funded by "ABank." This initiative reflects a broader effort to elevate the profile of agriculture and encourage greater participation in the sector, especially among urban dwellers.

The key goal of the festival is to promote the development of the country's agro-industrial sector. Kyrgyzstan is an agrarian country, and the need for new specialists is growing every year. It is also important to involve more people in agriculture in the context of food security. At the festival, we introduce participants to new technologies and modern approaches.

Beyond the plowing competition, the festival also included a sheep shearing contest, further demonstrating the diverse skills within the agricultural community. Such events are vital for popularizing rural life and showcasing the economic potential of farming. As OJSC "ABank" Chairman Tlek Alimdzhanov noted, the festival's goal is to foster the growth of the agro-industrial sector, recognizing Kyrgyzstan's identity as an agrarian nation. The commitment to making this an annual event, with plans for wider regional coverage, signals a strong dedication to the long-term development and sustainability of the agricultural landscape in Kyrgyzstan.

The festival will become an annual event, and in the future, it will cover other regions of the country.
