President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has also got acquainted with the activities of Korakalpok Balik Sanoat limited liability company in Nukus.

The enterprise is capable of harvesting 200 tons of fish and 5 million fish fry, as well as producing 5 thousand tons of feed a year. 35 jobs have been created in the company, which was launched this July.

The significance of the project is in the fact that fish are grown here using an intensive method in closed premises. Savings of a large amount of water are achieved thanks to its reuse. For example, if 1.5 million cubic meters of water is used to grow 200 tons of fish under normal conditions, 250 cubic meters suffice for this enterprise. This is quite important in the conditions of Karakalpakstan.

The enterprise also boasts processing and freezing facilities.

The President was briefed about projects in agriculture. The head of state emphasized the importance of creating family livestock cooperatives, expanding poultry farming, and taking measures to reduce meat prices. Instructions were given on keeping accurate records of land and water in the region, including through the introduction of information technologies.
