Kompanion Bank is inviting to the 12^th annual Apple festival, which will be held on October 25, 2017 in the village of Iskra, Leilek district, Batken region. For the first time the festival was held in 2006 on the shore of Lake Issyk-Kul and since then it has become not only a good tradition, but also an effective economic platform for domestic farmers.

“The Apple Festival promotes the capacity building of the communities of all regions of our country. Last year, we held the Apple Festival in Kadamjai district and were able to help horticulturists sell more than 1500 tons of apples. In addition, the event was visited not only by farmers and residents of the Batken region, but also by delegations from France and Uzbekistan. This year we plan to organize an equally spectacular event,” said Erkinbek Jumabaev, CEO of Kompanion Bank CJSC.

The main goal of the event is the development of gardening and the strengthening of market relations between buyers and sellers of agricultural products. Within the framework of the festival, the participants will be able to sell their harvest, as well as receive consultations of specialists of Kompanion Bank on agronomy and veterinary at no cost. The festival program has the exhibition-fair of apple products, competitions, musical performances and tasting of fruit dishes. Also, more than 15 varieties of delicious apple fruits will be demonstrated. More than 100 participants and about 800 visitors are expected.
