President Islam Karimov expounded on the importance of constant expansion of the deep reprocessing of cotton fiber by shoring up the light industry. This facilitates additional revenues and solution to such a pressing issue as population employment.

Such extensive constructive endeavors will help transform the outlook of our people and reinforce their aspiration to live with aim to reach new heights.”
Uzbekistan’s leader held a conversation with farmers and region’s officials and public figures at the Javlonbek farming enterprise in Pakhtakor district.
Islam Karimov stressed the important significance of the participation of farmers – representatives of the class of owners – in the further elevation of life standards in their own families, mahallas and their input into the prosperity of the nation.
“The modern farmer should not only grasp all the intricacies of agriculture, but also be an economist, bookkeeper, stock-breeder, and businessman. In other words, he/she should well understand new challenges emerging amid the current realities, be energetic in the further improvement of life standards of people, primarily the rural residents, in uplifting their spiritual values, in particular in displaying comprehensive care for the youth,” the President said. “For this purpose, it is essential to start reprocessing agricultural goods and establish small enterprises.”
