Farmers in Uzbekistan will be offered incentives for the efficient use of field perimeters.
Farmers who effectively use the perimeters of fields in Uzbekistan will be offered incentives. This was announced by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev at a meeting on November 28.
"In these challenging times, we must believe only in ourselves and take all necessary measures to ensure economic stability. We must address food security, plant crops on every piece of land, and generate income," he stated.
The President also noted that household plots, road verges, land along field edges, and canal areas, covering 650,000 hectares, can be used for planting trees and food crops.
The Agency for Plant Quarantine and Protection will be responsible for cultivating profitable crops on plots along fields, internal roads, and around collector canals, as well as for their export.
Accurate data on such lands is planned to be entered into the "Agroplatform". The population and farmers will be trained in the proper selection of seeds, the use of fertilizers, and the storage of products.
To encourage these efforts, farmers who effectively use field perimeters will receive additional points in the entrepreneurs' rating, and an internal phytosanitary certificate will be issued free of charge for one year.
Farmers will be able to pay the land tax for the entire land area in installments over two years.
Under the "Family Entrepreneurship" program, loans up to 100 million som will be provided through a simplified system.
Control over the use of field perimeters and the volume of crops grown will be conducted through the "e-Fitouz" portal.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev also emphasized the importance of distributing at least 100 lemon and grape seedlings to each mahalla, as well as planting no less than 10 million grape vines along the streets of mahallas and around multi-apartment buildings.
Until the plants start yielding, all agrotechnical measures will be supported by the Council of Farmers, Dehkan Farms, and household plot owners. Mahallas will be linked with export enterprises for the procurement of products.
Based on the experience of the Saykhunabad district, 4 mahallas will be selected from each of the 164 rural districts, and mini-tractors will be provided to them. Those offering services using mini-tractors will be granted self-employment status and will have access to an interest-free loan of up to 30 million som to purchase local machinery.
