It was ordered to allocate 100 billion soums for the development of land around the fields

Shavkat Mirziyoyev approved measures to organize the cultivation of agricultural products in the territories along the borders of fields. This was reported by Spot with reference to the Ministry of Justice.

The Horticulture and Greenhouse Development Fund was instructed to provide credit lines to finance land development projects around the fields. 100 billion soums will be allocated for this – a quarter of the funds provided to the fund a week earlier.

The funds will be allocated at interest at the Central Bank rate (14%) for 12 months, of which the first 6 will be a grace period. They can be spent on the purchase of seeds, seedlings, fertilizers, equipment, as well as pumps and pipes for irrigation.

Another 50 billion soums will be provided by the Fund for Support of Farmers, Dekhkan and Ancillary Farms for the construction of workshops for drying products and refrigeration warehouses. These loans will be issued for 7 years, also at the rate of the Central Bank.

In addition, preferential loans at 14% will be issued under family business programs for duck breeding and beekeeping in drainage waters.

Until 2025, in the Syrdarya region, it was instructed to create “social greenhouses” on 500 hectares of unused land around fields and collector-drainage systems. They will be allocated to citizens included in the “notebooks” of social protection, as well as to labor migrants who have returned to Uzbekistan.
