Satellite imagery reveals another 30,000 hectares for development in Kashkadarya
In Kashkadarya region, an additional 30,000 hectares of land suitable for bringing into agricultural use have been identified using satellite data, the Telegram channels of the Customs Committee and the Ministry of Transport reported.
Most of these areas are located in Mubarek, Kasan, and Kukdala. Additional plots will also be developed in Nishan, Kamashi, Karshi, Mirishkor, Guzar, Yakkabag, Kitab, Chirakchi, and Shakhrisabz. Ten permanent consultants from Egypt will be involved in this work.
The president drew attention to the fact that supplying water to crops in the region is costly and fraught with difficulties. Next year, plans call for concreting 265 km of canals and modernizing 20 pumps, with 550 billion soums allocated for this purpose. In 2027, water-saving technologies will be introduced jointly with farmers across 75,000 hectares.
This year, four small reservoirs with a capacity of 50,000 cubic meters each were built in Kasan, Nishan, Kamashi, and Mirishkor. It was decided to expand this experience: by June 1, two more such reservoirs are to be constructed in each of Kasan, Nishan, Mirishkor, Kamashi, and Yakkabag.
