President Shavkat Mirziyoyev chaired a meeting on the implementation of projects and improving the quality of education in agriculture. The agricultural sector in Uzbekistan is an important source of food products, jobs and income. Over the past five years, 2.5 billion foreign loans have been attracted to the sphere. To date, about 4 thousand projects have been implemented worth $1.7 billion. Modern greenhouses, intensive gardens, farms for harvesting seedlings and cold storage have been created. Measures for the efficient use of funds attracted from international financial institutions, accelerate the implementation of projects were discussed at the meeting. Today, 580 new projects worth $400 million have been developed. But their implementation is delayed due to short loan terms or a shortage of specialists. In this regard, the Ministry of Agriculture will be granted the right to launch projects itself and sell them on leasing terms. In particular, this year it is planned to create about 2 thousand hectares of intensive orchards and vineyards in 6 regions, open 17 small agro-logistics centers with a total capacity of 115 thousand tons. They will be sold to entrepreneurs in a ready-made form based on leasing. The Head of the state gave instructions on the development of industry services, online monitoring of crops and water consumption. – UzA
