     A meeting was held under the leadership of the Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Uzbekistan and Chairman of the Cotton Council under the President, Ibrohim Abdurakhmonov, to discuss the full digitalization of the cotton and grain harvest acceptance process.

      The meeting was attended by Deputy Minister Kahramon Yuldashev, representatives of the central apparatus, and the leadership of the "Agro-Industrial Digitalization Center" LLC. The discussion focused on ensuring transparency in the harvest acceptance process and implementing an automated system without human intervention. During the meeting, Otkir Makhmudov presented a report on the modernization of the "Harvest Acceptance" information system. The presentation covered the integration of the system with relevant platforms, the development of the "Agrotarozi" software, the creation of personal accounts for farming enterprises and agro-industrial clusters, as well as plans for implementing and testing the system.

      Minister Ibrohim Abdurakhmonov familiarized himself with the measures to be carried out by the working group before the harvesting season and emphasized that the main goal of modernization is to ensure transparency through accurate data representation. In this regard, instructions were given not only to improve the system’s performance at the central office but also to conduct scientific research at reception points, ensure uninterrupted system operation, and minimize human error through the extensive use of science, technology, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, the meeting included discussions on ensuring data transparency within the information system, developing a mobile application, and compiling a list of technologies and equipment to be used at reception points.
