It will be ensured that 130,000 tons of meat are imported into Uzbekistan by the end of the year.

Due to disruptions in logistics, cattle imports decreased by 2 times in the first quarter. This was reported during a videoconference meeting chaired by the President, as announced.

 

It was noted that a prompt solution was found, with up to 4 million soums allocated for each pedigree cattle transported by plane, and half of the transportation costs for meat imports being covered.

 

At the same time, the need to increase alternative transport corridors for entrepreneurs was highlighted. Through this, it was noted that it is necessary to ensure the import of 45,000 tons of meat in the second quarter and a total of 130,000 tons by the end of the year.

 

Officials were instructed to promptly resolve issues through online monitoring, without waiting for entrepreneurs to raise problems, wherever there are obstacles or cargo delays.

 

It is planned to sow fodder crops on 478,000 hectares in the regions. However, it was pointed out that in Namangan, 74% of fodder land has not yet been sown, silage sowing has not started in Zarbdar, Qiziltepa, and Pop districts where livestock potential is high, and work is also unsatisfactory in Amudarya, Gijduvon, Khonqa, and Baghdad. Regional governors were tasked with eliminating these shortcomings.

 

Another 100,000 hectares of arable land are set to be put up for auction under a new system. It was noted that every day is precious, and these lands must be frequently auctioned off and sown.

 

Additionally, regional governors were instructed to establish at least 5 large-scale industrialized fruit and vegetable plantations as exemplary models this year.
