Industrial and agricultural production in the makhallas of Uzbekistan

Abstract

There is a special, Asian way of production. This is industrial and agricultural production in makhallas. The roots of crafts and entrepreneurship of mahallas go back to the distant history of Central Asia. In the Soviet period, this production was carried out in the form of small craft production. In recent years, the development of crafts and entrepreneurship in makhallas in Uzbekistan has been given the most important importance. The sectoral specialization of all mahallas has been determined in the Republic. Measures to support each of them have been planned and are being implemented. Much attention is paid to the expansion of small industries in the Mahalla environment, including handicraft, sewing, shoe and confectionery. Support is provided to those engaged in home work. More than 2000 mahallas specialize in providing various types of services. Measures are being taken for the effective use of household lands and organized spring sowing. In the agricultural sector, work is being carried out (taking into account the peculiarities of regions, districts) on the specialization of each mahalla in fruit and vegetable growing, greenhouse farming and other areas, according to the principle "one mahalla – one type of product". This gives great opportunities for finding sales markets, contributes to improving product quality, mutual transfer of experience and the development of new technologies. The policy pursued in relation to the mahallas is aimed at solving three important tasks: spiritual, political and socio-economic.
