In 2021, 1,200 soums were paid for 1 kg of raw cotton harvested by hand during the first harvest, and 1,500 soums during the second harvest.

In Jizzakh, Tashkent and Syrdarya regions, as well as in remote areas of Karakalpakstan, Kashkadarya and Surkhandarya regions, for each kilogram of cotton, 230 soums of additional payment was made. 

Cotton-textile clusters and private households can independently set the amount of payment, which should not be less than the established rate.
