Increasing the area of modern greenhouses and cold storages, organizing agricultural products packaging enterprises, and establishing logistics centers were assessed as additional measures to achieve the goals of agricultural development.
For the implementation of state investment projects, the Sughd local authorities were reportedly tasked to strengthen the work of presenting the investment opportunities of the cities and districts of the province, supporting the initiatives of entrepreneurs and investors, and thus attracting as much foreign direct investment as possible.
