Abstract

<p>The demand for textile products which are produced on organic cotton has been increasing every&nbsp;year. Therefore, the countries producing organic cotton are annually increasing the volume of its production.&nbsp;Uzbekistan, although it is one of the main producers and exporters of cotton in the world market, has been&nbsp;producing organic cotton only since 2019. The country has all facilities for the further development of organic&nbsp;cotton production, since in recent years, in order to gradually liberalize the agricultural sector, radical changes&nbsp;<br /> have taken place, especially in cotton growing. The adopted legal acts have contributed to improving the&nbsp;organization of agrarian and processing industries; new structures have been organized, uniting the whole cycle of&nbsp;cotton production, processing and marketing of textile products through agricultural clusters. The study claims that&nbsp;<br /> the main producers of organic cotton and textile products may be cotton-textile agro clusters, which have the&nbsp;opportunity to independently enter the world market and cover a certain segment of the organic cotton market.&nbsp;This study is aimed at studying the experience and analysis of the production of organic cotton in the agricultural&nbsp;cluster Textile Technologies Group LLC. It assesses the development opportunities for organic cotton production in&nbsp;the republic. &nbsp;</p>
