During a digital working meeting, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov reviewed the progress of seasonal agricultural campaigns across the nation's provinces. The Head of State emphasized that monitoring wheat and cotton fields must strictly adhere to agrotechnical standards to ensure high yields. The discussions centered on optimizing land management and accelerating the modernization of the agricultural sector to meet national production targets.

Wheat cultivation is currently entering its final maintenance phase, with significant emphasis placed on preparing for the upcoming harvest season. Efforts are underway to ensure the proper storage of seed grain and the readiness of harvesting machinery. Simultaneously, cotton farmers are focused on inter-row cultivation, thinning, and irrigation procedures essential for the early stages of crop development. These activities are vital for sustaining the country’s agricultural momentum.

The meeting also addressed ongoing activities in the livestock and sericulture sectors. The seasonal breeding of sheep and camels is proceeding according to plan, alongside the intensive care provided by silkworm breeders to ensure high-quality cocoon production. The President instructed regional officials to provide all necessary support to farmers and breeders to guarantee the success of these vital economic activities.

Furthermore, the progress of the National Rural Program was scrutinized, specifically regarding the construction of social and industrial facilities slated for completion this year. President Berdimuhamedov ordered that all construction projects be monitored for quality and timeliness. The systematic development of regional infrastructure continues to be a cornerstone of the government’s strategy to enhance the socio-economic well-being of the population.

Seismic First: Scientists Officially Confirm Natural Earthquakes in Lithuania

The Geological Survey of Lithuania, supported by seismologists from the University of Helsinki, has officially confirmed the occurrence of natural tectonic earthquakes within the country’s borders for the first time. The seismic events, measuring 2.4 and 2.7 on the magnitude scale, occurred in western Lithuania near the Gargždai fault zone in December 2025. Furthermore, updated analysis of international seismic data allowed experts to reclassify a previously ambiguous 2015 tremor as a natural earthquake rather than human-induced activity.

Although the low-intensity quakes caused no structural damage or casualties, they mark the first instrumentally verified natural tectonic events recorded in modern Lithuanian history.
