Uzbekistan has achieved a record cotton harvest in 2024, reaching 3.8 million tons, a 5% increase from the previous year, according to official data. This growth reflects the country's efforts in the agricultural sector.

However, behind this success lie persistent agricultural challenges, including water scarcity and outdated technical equipment. Experts warn that these factors could negatively impact future harvests.

The government has announced new initiatives to modernize the cotton industry and manage water resources more efficiently, but the implementation process is slow. This highlights the ongoing difficulties in Uzbekistan's agricultural development.
