Hardworking Beknazar is 55 years old, married, and the father of five children. He has a secondary education. He is enterprising and economical by nature. Since 1991, he has been involved in raising livestock and growing crops as an additional source of income for his family. Thanks to his hard work, his farm currently has 7 cows and 15 sheep, as well as a land allotment of 0.5 hectares where he grows potatoes.
In order to further develop his farm, he applied for a loan of 30,000 KGS from Bai Tushum Bank to buy seeds and fertilizer for spring field work in order to grow organic vegetables. The income from the loan will help expand his farm.
