Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Cotton growers of Uzbekistan collected over 3.4 million tonnes of cotton and fulfilled their contractual obligations with surplus.
The achievement shows that farmers movement is turning to strong social force, which can take responsibility to development of rural areas.
Abduholiq Jabbarov, a member of faction of UzLiDeP at the Legislative Chamber of Oliy Majlis of Uzbekistan, said that Uzbekistan pays great attention to reforming agriculture sector. He said that farmers received over 200 billion soums as additional income from production of raw cotton. This means that this helps to improve life standards in rural areas.
He added that Uzbekistan improved state of 1.75 million hectares of irrigated lands. This year, Uzbekistan also used over 1,000 modernized cotton harvesters, produced at Tashkent Tractor Plant.
Uzbekistan also adopted measures on saving water and timely supply of fertilizers and fuel products, he underlined. He added that hard work of farmers is behind high yield.
Odiljon Ashirov, a member of faction of UzLiDeP at the Legislative Chamber of Uzbekistan, said that this achievement is another milestone and will help to further development of agriculture sector.
About 90% of crop was of high sort, he added. He recalled that in 1990s Uzbekistan processed only 7% of produced cotton fibre internally, and now the figure reached 44%, which helped to export high added value products. He underlined that high quality of the Uzbek cotton widely recognized worldwide.
He added that UzLiDeP believes that it is necessary to continue to expand internal processing of cotton-fibre and attract investments to achieve this goal.
