The President got acquainted with the progress of work in agriculture

On February 10, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev arrived in the Jizzakh region to get acquainted with the socio-economic development of the regions.

The first item in the program of the trip was the farm "Pakhtakor elite of urugchiligi" in the Pakhtakor district. The area of the farm is 100 hectares, of which 80 hectares are sown with cotton and grain, the rest is grown with soybeans, garlic and alfalfa.

During a trip to the Syrdarya region in October last year, the head of state gave instructions on the effective use of land around the perimeter of fields and the construction of field houses for the convenience of farmers and workers. The results of this work can be seen in this farm. Mulberries, grapes, melons and legumes are planted along the edges of the field. A field house made of lightweight structures has been built, solar panels are installed on its roof.

The President visited this house and talked with the farmer's family.

In a conversation with the responsible persons of the agricultural sector and the heads of cotton and textile clusters, instructions were given to increase yields and ensure employment of the population.

- Why did we give our wealth - land - to clusters? So that it is used for the benefit of the people. From now on, clusters should comply with reforms and implement state policy to reduce unemployment in their region through the industrialization of agriculture, the opening of enterprises and support for home work," Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.

As you know, in our country, unemployed citizens are given land plots for farming. This measure is designed to provide jobs for more than 13 thousand young people in the Jizzakh region.

- At one time it was impossible to allocate at least one hectare of land to people. And now we have allocated 200 thousand hectares. Why? So that the land is a source of income for people. Now the result depends on the coordinated work of both sides," the head of state said.

Instructions are given to ensure the interest of farmers, the implementation of mahalla growth points.
