Green technologies of the agro-industrial complex as the main element of increasing the competitive innovative development of Central Asia
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyse the advantages of using green technologies as an innovative means of increasing the market stability of agricultural companies in the Central Asian region. The essence of the methodological approach was a combination of theoretical methods of analysis and synthesis with an empirical study of the application of green technologies in the practice of farms in the agricultural sector of the Jalal-Abad region of Kyrgyzstan. The results obtained reflect the dynamics of changes in the yield of key crops during the time periods January-August 2023 and 2024. Data were obtained on green technologies in the field of agriculture, which are successfully used in the Kyrgyz Republic, and especially in the Jalal-Abad region, facilitating an increase in crop yields and production of livestock products. The role of green technologies used in agriculture as a key element of increasing the competitiveness of agricultural companies and innovative development of Central Asia as a whole is highlighted, since real prospects for the implementation of these technological solutions were presented on the example of agricultural farms in the Jalal-Abad region. These prospects, in particular, lie in the possibility of improving soil fertility parameters through the use of biological technologies for processing agricultural waste to develop better fertilisers, searching for soil sites for optimal planting of certain types of crops through the use of remote sensing methods, improving the soil layer treatment process through the use of anti-erosion tillage and many other opportunities that open up when using the technologies in question
