Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- During a working visit to Kashkadarya region on 24-25 February, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted that the flora of Uzbekistan is rich in medicinal plants, in particular, saffron has been widely used in folk medicine since ancient times. Noting that saffron serves as an important source of raw materials in the production of medicines in our country, experts were advised to increase the number of such plants and expand plantations.

One of these areas is the proposal to expand the project on saffron cultivation in the country. According to the proposal of the head of state, the task has been set to establish saffron plantations on 50 hectares in each of the mountains districts of the republic, such as Zaamin, Bostanlyk, Urgut, Kitab, Shakhrisabz and Chartak.
