Farmers noted that thanks to construction of Sardoba reservoir and the allocation of over 10 billion soums from Syrdarya region’s budget for pest control, it becomes possible to obtain high yields.
 
“What is the purpose of cultivating the land? Receive the income! The increase in income is primarily provided by an increase in yield. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure that at least five boxes are added to each bush before the harvest season begins, and that there became five centners more yield per hectare”, Shavkat Mirziyoyev emphasized.

Responsible persons of the authorities and the sphere were instructed to ensure the contour control of all fields where cotton is lagging behind in development, to organize treatment with biostimulants and systematic implementation of all agrotechnical measures.
 
It was noted that the increase in the purchase price of cotton almost 1.3 times compared to last year increased the interest of farmers.
 
The Head of the state noted that in a region that does not have large industrial enterprises, small business should become the main source of growth in gross regional product and workplaces for the population.
