AKIPRESS.COM - On September 27, 2016, USAID will organize a business forum in Batken to establish direct links between Batken farmers producing dried apricots and buyers from Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and other countries.
Participating farmers are expected to learn about requirements of apricot buyers, present samples of their products and negotiate prices with potential buyers.
Through these presentations and negotiations, successful farmers and interested buyers/processors are expected also to sign contracts or memoranda of understanding.
