The cotton harvesting season in Uzbekistan has concluded, with official data indicating a yield of 3.5 million tonnes of cotton nationwide. This figure represents a 5% increase compared to last year's results, highlighting the impact of agricultural reforms in the country.

Government officials emphasized the role of new technologies and support for farm enterprises in organizing the harvest. Measures such as modernizing cotton fields and improving irrigation systems were cited as key factors in achieving these outcomes.

However, experts cautioned that challenges persist in the cotton industry, including labor conditions and environmental effects. Issues related to workers' rights and environmental protection remain pressing concerns during the harvesting period.

Plans for the coming years involve discussions on further boosting cotton production and expanding export opportunities. The government aims to focus more on processing cotton products and creating added value in the sector.
