Yazyovan Farmers: It Was Better to Sell Cotton to the State Than to the Cluster 09.07.2021 Yozyovonlik fermerlar: Paxtani klasterdan ko‘ra davlatga sotganimiz yaxshi edi 09 July 2021, Tashkent time: 14:31 LOTIN Yazyovan farmers: It was better to sell cotton to the state than to the cluster January 15, 2020 Sadriddin Ashur / Freedom 48 farmers from Yazyovan district of Fergana region have led a complaint to the virtual reception of the Prime Minister of Uzbekistan against the cluster enterprise "Bahodir Logan Tekstil". In an interview with RFE / RL, the farmers wrote that the cluster had not fullled its promise to pay 20 percent of the cotton harvest, and was charging farmers an additional 100,000 soums for each ton of cotton ginned. Ziyohiddin Rakhmatov, head of Bahodir Logan Tekstil, declined to comment on other RFE / RL questions, saying farmers were being paid for cotton. In Yazyovan district, 119 farms have signed a contract for the production of 14,800 tons of raw cotton in 2019 for the cluster enterprise "Bahodir Logon Tekstil" LLC. According to the farmers' application to the Prime Minister, despite the fact that the Fund for State Support of Agriculture under the Ministry of Finance has allocated 35.5 billion soums in so) loans, 67 farms about 4 billion soums from the cluster. Although the agreement between the cluster and the farmers stipulates that the harvest money must be paid by December 31, 2019, but one of the farmers from Yazyavan, who asked not to be named, said that he has not yet received a single sum: “ That cluster was a disaster. https://www.ozodlik.org/a/30379495.html 1/4 09.07.2021 Yozyovonlik fermerlar: Paxtani klasterdan ko‘ra davlatga sotganimiz yaxshi edi “We are not traders if we settle accounts at the end of each month and make a prot. We work for this cotton from March to December. One year our cotton money was no later than December 31st. When he died, 90 percent of it was paid by the state. 1at cluster was a disaster. When will he process the cotton in the textile, when will he sell it, when will he get the money, and until then will we put the bucket in the water? No one says what you do as a cluster if you can’t a'ord it. It would have been better if the state had bought the cotton itself. ” Another farmer, who asked not to be named, said the cluster had slandered farmers, saying they would pay extra for the harvest: While 15,000 tons of cotton were sold in the district, farmers are “losing 2 billion soums. “According to the presidential decree, pickers were given 800 soums per kilogram of cotton. During the harvest, the cluster, the authorities came and said they would give the pickers 1,000 soums. 1e head of the cluster, a man named Ziyohiddin, promised that 800 sums would come from your cotton money and 200 sums from our prot. Now he is deducting 200 sums at the time of calculation. 1is means that if 15,000 tons of cotton are sold in the district, farmers will lose 2 billion soums. Ziyohiddin Rakhmatov, the head of Bahodir Logan Tekstil, has an audio recording of his promise to farmers on the Telegram channel: Distribute without fear of 1000 rubles. We, the cluster, will take 200 “soums. “Assalamu alaykum, members of the group. I am Ziyohiddin, the head of the cluster. Today we have solved all the problems, and now my brother Temurkhan must have said that you will all distribute 1000 soums, 800 soums from the farmer and 200 soums from the cluster. We will cover it ourselves, no problem, no problem. Now we have an account with Temurhon aka for 12 thousand tons, distribute it without fear of 1000 soums. We, the cluster, will take 200 soums. ” According to Ziyohiddin Rakhmatov, Temurkhon Nasriddinov is the head of the Yazyovan district branch of Agrobank. Another farmer, who asked not to be named, said the cluster was su'ering at its own expense for not living up to its promise: https://www.ozodlik.org/a/30379495.html 2/4 09.07.2021 Yozyovonlik fermerlar: Paxtani klasterdan ko‘ra davlatga sotganimiz yaxshi edi It is better to die from this day than to deceive the farmers and see a “day with a lagman in its ear. “I am losing 40 million soums at the expense of these 200 soums. 1e cluster is transferring 30-50 million soums to other farmers. No one can say that it is better to die from this day than to deceive the farmers and hang a lagman in their ears. " 1e farmer says that the cluster is again collecting large sums of money from them under the pretext of cleaning cotton: “For example, we sell cotton. It released up to 8 percent on moisture and dirt. In fact, this is a very large percentage. We had never had one before. When we sold it to the state, it was at a very high 2-3% discount. 1e cluster is doing a trick in this. Now listen to the second trick. He is issuing so many discounts and withholding 100,000 soums per ton. It's for a drying and cleaning service. We have been farmers for so many years, handing over cotton and seeing it for the rst time. Earlier, he used to catch 20,000 soums. 1e cluster does not have a factory of its own, it rents a ginnery in Rishtan, and we pay the rent to the farmers in the same way. ” 1e farmer said he lost 30 million soums. Ozodlik contacted Ziyohiddin Rakhmatov, the head of the cluster enterprise Bahodir Logon Tekstil LLC, to get their views on the issues raised by the farmers. As soon as RFE / RL reported that there were complaints from farmers, the cluster leader said , "I will not answer your questions. We are lowering farmers' money. " As soon as Ozodlik started talking about the harvest money, Ziyohiddin Rakhmatov lost contact and did not answer other calls. RFE / RL reports that farmers working in Uzbekistan in a cluster system are also unable to receive cotton money. In particular, dozens of farms selling cotton to the cluster enterprise "Vodiy Sanoat Fakhri" LLC in Ulugnor district of Andijan are struggling to get the 2019 harvest . 1e cluster enterprise in Samarkand's Aqdarya district is not paying farmers 7 billion soums for cotton. https://www.ozodlik.org/a/30379495.html 3/4 09.07.2021 Yozyovonlik fermerlar: Paxtani klasterdan ko‘ra davlatga sotganimiz yaxshi edi In Akkurgan district of Tashkent region, about 300 farmers signed a contract with AVS Akkurgan Agrocluster for more than two years, but did not receive the harvest money. https://www.ozodlik.org/a/30379495.html 4/4.

  • Cotton Clusters and the Despair of Uzbek Farmers: Land Confiscations, Blank Contracts and Failed Payments
    COTTON CLUSTERS AND THE DESPAIR OF UZBEK FARMERS: LAND CONFISCATIONS, BLANK CONTRACTS AND FAILED PAYMENTS Farmer Ilkhomjon Abdurakhmonov and his farm workers, Mingbuloq district, Namangan region Executive summary The privatization of Uzbekistan’s cotton sector has led to the establishment of so-called “cotton textile clusters” throughout the country designed to increase the added value in the cotton industry by boosting textile production and bringing together production, processing and manufacturing. That is being done under the control of private entities which enter into contractual agreements with farmers. In 2019, 75 clusters were operational which accounted for 73% of the total cotton harvest. Reports from farmers as early as 2018 revealed a lack of transparency, failure of clusters to make payments to farmers and unfair contractual arrangements which left farmers unable to fulfill the state set quota, in debt and at risk of having their land confiscated. Unscrupulous cluster operators, often working closely with hokimiyats (district authorities) have had a disastrous effect on many farmers and a wider impact on local economies. 1 There is no competition between clusters, as only one cluster is allowed to operate in one district to which farmers are obliged to deliver their entire cotton crop. Uzbek-German Forum for Human Rights (UGF) investigated 12 clusters in 12 districts of 9 regions and interviewed 15 farmers to gain more insight into how the privatization of the cotton sector via the establishment of clusters is impacting Uzbek farmers. Of these 12 clusters, findings show that most of them are clearly violating their contractual obligations. Furthermore, there is cause for concern that local authorities are allowing unscrupulous cluster operators to conduct their business with impunity and in some cases aiding and abetting unfair conditions designed to benefit private companies at the expense of farmers.
