Many were pleased with the words of the President of the country about a phased transition to a system of purchasing cotton and grain based on market principles, canceling the practice of state orders for the procurement of these products. As a result, there will be big changes in the activities of farmers. In turn, the leaders of local khokimiyats will have to radically change their methods of work.
“In all areas of the agricultural system, experience will be introduced in providing loans at a reduced rate”, the Head of the state said. “At the moment, loans at a reduced rate are provided only for cotton and grain. The cultivation of cotton and grain will be gradually transferred to the cluster system. At the same time, fruit and vegetable, beekeeping, fish farming and other areas of agriculture will accelerate. This year, the volume of cultivation and export of agricultural products will reach 2 billion USD, and in the near future this figure will grow by 2-3 times.
The President noted that the rapid adoption of the law on cooperation and the cluster system will bring work in this direction to a new level.
