The effectiveness of using and scaling up the practice of using agrodrons in agriculture was discussed at a government meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Serik Zhumangarin.International experience in the use of agrodrons in over 100 countries around the world shows significant advantages of using unmanned aerial vehicles instead of ground-based sprayers. More than 500 million hectares of fields have already been processed in the world with the help of agrodrons. Due to the minimal use of water, it was possible to save about 210 million tons of water and reduce CO2 emissions by 25 million tons. Agrodrons allow you to cultivate and explore lands in hard-to-reach places. They work in any weather and time of day, during rain and at night. "For example, a self-propelled sprayer spends 150 liters of water per hectare, which is about 750 thousand liters of water per 5 thousand hectares. While a drone requires 50,000 liters to handle the same amount of space, this is more than 15 times less. In addition, the self-propelled sprayer presses the track during operation, which causes the farmer to lose about 6% of the crop. The UAV does not cause such damage to crops," Sanzhar Nurgazinov, a representative of the company operating agrodrones, said at the meeting. In order to scale up the use of UAVs for inspection, treatment of pests and dangerous plant diseases in Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Agriculture signed a memorandum with the Chinese company Eavision for the import of 80 agrodrons. These devices will be sold among agricultural producers. In addition, a joint Kazakh-Chinese enterprise Sunkar Eavision International LLP has been established, which will assemble domestic drones on the territory of the SEZ of the Alatau Information Technology Park. "Together with the SEC of the regions, the issue of opening demonstration and service centers of agrodrones in Turkestan, Taraz, in the regions of Abai and Zhetysu has been worked out. The issue of training assemblers and pilots has been resolved on the basis of three educational institutions: Talgar Polytechnic College, College of IT Technologies in Semey and agricultural college in Kaplanbek village of Turkestan region," said Vice Minister of Agriculture Yermek Kenzhehanuly.In parallel, work is underway to create the software necessary for the inspection of pest infestation sites and carrying out treatments. It is planned to link the survey activities with the treatments carried out in the information system "Kazakhstan Garysh Sapary" – GIS "Phytokz".Serik Zhumangarin set the task for the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry to explore the possibility of developing its own software for managing agricultural drones. Following the meeting, Serik Zhumangarin instructed the Ministry of Agriculture to develop a roadmap for the development and implementation of agrodrons in agriculture by the end of February 2025, taking into account the selection or development of necessary software, the creation of service centers, training specialists, mainly from rural youth, to work with UAVs; KazAgroFinance – to work out measures to support farmers to purchase agrodrons within the framework of available funds.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/890762

The idea of the film is that it has no dialogue."Bangladesh is a densely populated country, where it can be very noisy, there is a lot of information, especially verbal. That's why we cut out all the dialogue to focus on the inner emotions of the characters. The film was inspired by Renaissance artists. We wanted to create the effect of a painting on canvas – static, but deep," Asif Islam added.Valeria Motorueva, producer of the film "Where the Sterks Dance", noted that this film became the third largest collection in the Sakha Republic. Spot screenings were held in Russia and at other film festivals."His festival story continues and will continue next year. The magic of Yakut cinema lies in sincerity. Here, people work with a small budget, often at their own expense. A director can shoot today, be a driver tomorrow, and an editor the day after tomorrow. Everyone helps each other, which makes the movie really soulful," the producer noted.In addition, she spoke about the work of composer Moisei Kobyakov: "This is something outstanding. He spent a long time creating the soundtrack, adding the last elements after finishing computer graphics. His music perfectly complements the visual tension of the film."The director of the film "Melody" Behruz Sebt Rasul told about his film:"The film was shot in Iran and Tajikistan. This is a poetic story about a girl who has to create a melody with the help of birdsong. The film has already been nominated by Tajikistan for the Oscar as the best foreign language film."The first day of the competition programs set a high bar for further screenings.
