| Description: |
Sharif Mamurov, 40 years old, is the son of Juraev Sami, head of the Sami Juraev Agricultural Machinery Service Provider. Sharif is married and has four children. From 2005 until 2020, he regularly went to the Russian Federation as a migrant labourer, spending only about two months in Tajikistan during those years. In 2020, his family’s dehkan farm dug a vertical well that supplied irrigation and drinking water to the farm. After that time, Sharif no longer emigrated, instead working together with his father on the farm. In addition to his own farming, he now works full-time as an agricultural machine operator. CASP provided Sharif’s father, Juraev Sami, with a 50 per cent matching grant in 2023 to establish an Agricultural Machinery Service Provider business. Not only does he now have the machinery he needs for his own farm, but he is also providing agricultural machinery services to other dehkan farmers nearby. He uses the tractor, plough and sowing tools to prepare the fields for cultivation at the right times and for a fee that is much more affordable, thus leading to greater productivity and profit both for himself and for neighbouring farmers. |
