President Mirziyoyev visited Karakalpakstan, a region in Uzbekistan, to examine new local projects and beekeeping efforts.
The region implemented the Smart Mahalla system to improve public services by using digital tools to manage requests, track population data, and oversee infrastructure. As part of this effort, authorities constructed a new kindergarten with 60 spaces, costing 4.5 billion Uzbekistani Som, and funded sports facilities with 1 billion Som from the local budget.
Local families also increased their income through beekeeping as part of the “One Mahalla. One Product” program. Over 20 households now maintain between 50 and 100 beehives each, producing up to 1 tonne of honey annually. Bakhtiyar Zhubaev’s family earned 200 million Som from honey processing and an additional 80 million Som from making beehive boxes. The Beekeepers Association intends to help 100 more families start beekeeping through cooperatives before the end of the year.
