According to the Press Service of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the program of the trip is very rich. The first destination was the viticulture cooperative “Fayzli bog’lar sari” in Oltiariq district.
Residents are famous for their high culture of agriculture and gardening. By engaging in this activity, they can ensure the well-being of bоth their own and their neighbors.
However, cotton and wheat were grown in large quantities in the district despite the low yield compared to other crops. The policy of the Head of the state, aimed at structural changes in agriculture and the cultivation of crops in demand by the market, has opened up great opportunities for dehkans and young people.
Previously, 20 quintals of cotton and 25 quintals of grain were grown on 6 hectares in the cooperative which was visited by the President. Last year, a vineyard was laid out here and grapes of such varieties as Husayni, Kelin Barmoq and Rizamat were planted. Tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, peppers and other vegetables are grown between the rows. A drip irrigation system has been introduced.

If today we create a source of income for young people, train them to work, help them get back on their feet, in 2-3 years they will not depend on anyone. They will have a bank account, they will get a house, they will live well, they will raise their children well.
The President advised young people to study more and improve their activities.
