Surkhandarya region is one of the important regions of Uzbekistan in cotton production, and the state of the material and technical base in establishing cotton monopoly is of great importance for the development of the regional economy and agriculture. This study analyzes the material and technical support of cotton cultivation in Surkhandarya region, including the level of use of modern machinery and technologies, irrigation systems, and the infrastructure of cotton ginning and processing enterprises. Factors such as the fact that cotton cultivation in the region is carried out on an area of 120.8 thousand hectares, as well as the fact that the use of modern agrotechnologies and biological products by organizations such as the Surkhandarya Agrokhizmat cotton-textile cluster has increased productivity by 20-30 percent are considered. At the same time, measures taken to improve the collector-drainage networks and land reclamation are also analyzed. The study also discusses existing challenges in consolidating cotton dominance, such as outdated equipment, limitations in infrastructure development, and a lack of modern equipment.
