Presidential decree targets employment and income growth for 5.2 million people in 2025
A presidential decree on “Measures to Ensure Employment and Reduce Poverty in 2025” has been adopted, under which 20,000 hectares of forest fund land will be used to establish forests with the involvement of members of low-income families. As part of the initiative, nurseries will be created, medicinal plants will be cultivated, and a comprehensive program aimed at providing income-generating labor for the population has been approved, with specific targets set for its implementation.

As part of the program in 2025, efforts will focus on employing 5.2 million people and providing them with income-generating work, with various organizations assigned specific responsibilities to achieve these objectives.
Between 2025 and 2026, modern poultry farms will be developed in regions such as Namangan, Tashkent, Khorezm, and others. These farms will include slaughterhouses, refrigerated warehouses, processing plants for products and waste, poultry breeding facilities, and production units for poultry products, all implemented under a cooperative system as part of ready-made business projects.
In 2025, members of low-income families will be involved in:
- Establishing forests on 20,000 hectares of forest fund land, consisting of industrial, scenic, and fruit-bearing tree species, along with creating nurseries and cultivating medicinal plants;
- Piloting the cultivation of Broussonetia trees on 100 hectares of land.
Starting July 1, 2025, members of low-income families who register information about the trees they have planted on the “Ecoactive Citizen” platform will receive a subsidy equal to one base calculation unit for every 100 trees planted on forest fund land.
