Among them, one can note a more streamlined organization of work at the Garabekevul cotton plant, which was opened in 2015 and is designed to process 40 thousand tons of cotton per year and produce high-quality seed cotton.

Thanks to the plant being equipped with the most advanced technologies, the dedicated work of workers and organized work, labor productivity at the enterprise is very high. This will allow cotton growers to be supplied with high-quality seeds during the sowing campaign.

In this agricultural season, in the etrap of the velayat, depending on soil and weather conditions, it is planned to sow cotton varieties «Ýolöten-39», «Ýolöten-7», «S-2606». In addition, cotton varieties such as «Ýolöten-50», «Ýolöten-53» and «Garaşsyzlyk» will be planted at the research and production testing centre located in the Sayat etrap.
