In his inaugural speech, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov named ensuring the country's food abundance among the main economic tasks. To solve this problem, it is planned to create "modern production facilities for the production of competitive, environmentally friendly and high-quality agricultural products that meet international standards." At the same time, the production of a wide range of import-substituting agricultural products will be aimed not only at fully satisfying the needs of the domestic market, but also at increasing the volume of its exports. As the President of Turkmenistan emphasized, "the volume of investments for the purchase of high-performance agricultural machinery and equipment from foreign countries will also be increased."
Turkmenistan already has a long-term experience of cooperation in the supply of agricultural machinery with such world-famous companies as John Deere (USA) and Claas (Germany). At the Turkmen Agricultural University named after S.A. Niyazov opened the training centers of these companies, which provide students with knowledge of widely used modern methods in agricultural production in order to provide them with a high level of education and practical skills in operating high-performance machinery.
In accordance with the agreement signed between the Turkmen Agricultural University S.A. Niyazov and John Deere International GmbH, foreign experts teach students of the Faculty of Agricultural Mechanization of the Turkmen Agricultural University named after. S.A. Niyazov to the latest technologies. Particular attention is paid to the study of the digital telematics system, the design and operation of equipment used in agriculture in our country, the features of their maintenance and operation. The trainings conducted at the center are an integral part of the training of high-level specialists for the agricultural sector of the national economy.
Tractors, grain and cotton harvesters, and other agricultural machinery manufactured by Claas of the Federal Republic of Germany are also widely used in the fields of Turkmenistan. In based at TSHU im. S.A. At the Niyazov Training Center, students study in detail the technical arrangement, maintenance and operation of the equipment produced by the company.
Teachers and students of the Agricultural University, together with specialists from the CLAAS service center, are participating in test trials on the use of the telematics system in the fields of Turkmenistan. The use of digital technologies implemented in Claas agricultural equipment opens up prospects for the active development of precision farming - an integrated high-tech agricultural management system using GPS, GIS, YMT, VRT technologies and other monitoring and analysis functions. The updated TELEMATICS platform from CLAAS allows not only to monitor the entire fleet of vehicles in real time, but also to document the ongoing agricultural work. All technical, operational and agronomic data coming from the machine are quickly and without additional costs stored in the database, and after processing they are sent to all interested parties: farmers, service providers, manufacturers, which allows them to increase the efficiency and focus of their business.
