Starting from January 1 , the irrigation water rate has risen 150 percent – from 0.002 somoni per 1m3 to 0.005 somoni per 1m3. Experts note that this irrigation water price hike will lead to the increase in cost of agricultural products grown, especially rice and cotton, which are both “thirsty” crops. But on the other hand, if the rates are not raised, the water sector, already eking out a miserable existence, would simply die.
