Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
President Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan visited a greenhouse project in the Kegeyli district, where families are receiving support to grow produce and raise livestock.
The project received 12.5 billion Uzbekistani Som in financing to construct a five-hectare greenhouse complex using modern, lightweight structures. Fifty families from a social welfare register now have permanent jobs working on 0.1 hectares of greenhouse space each, and they are receiving training and support from the project’s entrepreneur.
Over the next two years, these families will learn to build and operate their own greenhouses, creating a long-term income source. The entrepreneur will buy their produce at current market rates. The facility also trains up to 1,000 people annually in greenhouse and farming methods. Additionally, the project includes raising around 500 ducks in a 350-meter canal, with each family receiving ten breeding ducks from Brazil and guidance on animal husbandry.
Solar panels generating 100 kilowatts of power supply the facility’s electricity needs, making the project resource-efficient.
