Why it matters
The initiative aims to increase agricultural output, as new irrigation projects are expected to produce 250,000 tons of animal feed annually, enough to support 60,000 head of cattle. This effort involves significant investment in water infrastructure, such as the reconstruction of the Kengsoy pumping station in the Navoi region.
