As is known, the lands released from cotton are provided to the unemployed population for re-growing crops on them. The farm “Kamola Kamolbek Kuyun” also allocated 20-25 acres of land to 34 citizens who are members of social “notebooks”. They have planted vegetables, potatoes, onions, carrots and other crops, and they get a good income from this. This year, another 18 citizens will be allocated 30 acres of land to create farms.
