In compliance with Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 27.12.2018 No PP-4087 «On urgent measures to create favorable conditions for the widespread use of drip irrigation technology in the production of raw cotton» and in order to efficiently use water resources, improve land reclamation conditions and widely introduce technologies to save water while growing cotton, Khantex Group in cooperation with Israeli company Netafim have successfully introduced drip irrigation system on 81 hectares of cotton field.

The experience of the current year clearly showed that the introduction of drip irrigation allows harvesting 70 centners of cotton per 1 hectare of land while ensuring the efficient use of land and labor resources, which ultimately favorably affected the profitability of invested funds.

In order to further promote the use of drip irrigation in the sown areas of the Khantex Group, a regular meeting was held with the leadership of Netafim in Tashkent. Based on the results of the negotiations, an agreement was reached to expand drip irrigated areas up to 1000 hectares in Kurgantepa district of Andijan region.
