Dagestan will take measures to return unused lands in Kazbekovsky and Kizilyurt districts to agricultural circulation

As part of a working trip to the Kazbek district, Deputy Chairman of the Government of Dagestan Nariman Abdulmutalibov and First Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Dagestan Sharip Sharipov studied the situation with the revival of viticulture in the municipality. On the trip, they were accompanied by the HEAD of the Kazbekovsky district Gadzhimurad Musaev and the DIRECTOR of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Minmeliovodkhoz RD" Zalkip Kurbanov.
We are talking about the Inchkinskaya valley, which in the last century was occupied by vineyards. The products collected in this valley were of special quality. Abdulmuslim Abdulmuslimov, Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Dagestan, previously instructed to revive the industry in this territory after a visit to the region.
Inchinskaya valley covers an area of ​​about 300 hectares, which are suitable for growing grapes. However, at present, this area is deprived of irrigation, which makes it difficult to plant vineyards and sow other crops.
To solve this problem, it was proposed to build a water conduit from the nearby Sulak River to the Inchka Valley. Zalkip Kurbanov assured that Minmeliovodkhoz RD would provide all possible assistance in the implementation of the project, and Sharip Sharipov explained how local farmers could receive state support in the construction of the irrigation system.
“We were shown grapes grown in this valley with the help of imported water. It has a high SUGAR content and a special taste. Therefore, Abdulmuslim Muhudinovich ordered to revive viticulture here. We see that there are unused land plots here due to the lack of irrigation water. This can be corrected, but we need to know how much land and settlements fall under the new water pipeline. Then it is necessary to draw up technical documentation, and after that we will think about a design solution in order to get into regional programs, and maybe even federal ones,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
In addition, the delegation visited the lands of the Kizilyurt region bordering with the Kazbekovsky region. Nariman Abdulmutalibov stated that in the area with. Miatli empty up to 400 hectares of land. He instructed the leadership of the municipality to work out proposals for resolving the issue of introducing these lands into agricultural circulation.
