In particular, in 2023, 9 thousand hectares of cotton and grain fields will be reduced in the Tashkent region, plots of 25 acres will be allocated to the population. This will provide jobs for more than 60 thousand people.

They will be used primarily for sowing pasture plants, growing oilseeds, legumes and fodder crops that require little water, as well as for breeding livestock.
