The products that are planned to be exported will be received in the second half of September, namely from 10,000 tons of mung beans, the report says.
More than 12,000 hectares of land are allocated for growing mung beans this year, which is several times more than before.

Currently, the Mas Taslamasy project involves more than 100 agricultural producers who are members of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan.
In general, the volume of import-substituting products is growing in the country, and this leads to an increase in the country's exports.
