Over this six-month period, lease revenues reached 113 million KGS, a significant increase compared to zero revenue in 2023.

During the same timeframe, the Fund's tender commission held 18 meetings, reviewing 107 lots. Currently, the Fund oversees 68 land plots totaling 18,649 hectares, with nearly 15,000 hectares prepared for transfer to investors.
