Using the potential of mahallas to increase employment is part of state policy today. Household plots act here as one of the most influential and accessible resources.
According to the resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan of March 5 this year “On measures to support production in households using the industrial method and the use of new reserves in household and dehkan farms”, significant opportunities were identified.
This initiative is clearly visible in Tuyoqli mahalla. Each of the 678 houses has its own garden plot, which has a total area of 36 hectares. Fruit trees, grapes, and vegetables are successfully grown here. 314 households have greenhouses for growing vegetables and flowers.
The Head of state visited the house of resident Abdimumin Karimov.
His household plot occupies 14 acres, of which a greenhouse occupies seven. Chickens, bees, and livestock are also raised here. The head of the household shared that thanks to his garden products, his income reaches more than 200 million UZS a year.
“This typical household example demonstrates that if there is an initiative in the family, obtaining a good income is possible. Many people have personal plots, and many want to work on them. They need support. For example, it is important to attract local enterprises to create greenhouses and provide beehives, seedlings, seeds, and feed as a single package of services and at an affordable price”, Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
The President also met with the “mahalla of seven”. They discussed ways to intensify the use of local resources to increase family incomes and improve their purchasing power. This affects the quality of life, health, and development of children and contributes to society’s progress.
