Trainings for Uzbek Cotton Farmers and selected key stakeholders in the implementation of the BCI Standard System in Uzbek cotton production
Uzbekistan is the sixth-largest cotton producer in the world; cotton is of key importance for national economic and social development. The Government has taken major steps towards substantial reform. In support of these reforms, the programme focuses on the promotion of sustainable cotton production and on fostering entrepreneurship amongst the downstream segments of the textile ‘pipeline’ beyond ginning, to develop and strengthen domestic capacities for processing sustainable cotton.
