Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Ministry of Agriculture and the Malaysian major robotics firm Meraque Group.
This MoM is aimed at improving the Uzbekistan’s agricultural sector, which includes 4.3 million hectares of cultivated land.
Meraque Group vowed to invest 20 million Malaysian ringgits in the next three years to set up a production enterprise that will create 1,000 jobs and serve 100,000 hectares of agriculture in Uzbekistan. The company is also looking to raise an additional 30 million ringgits for technological improvements in the region.
A key part of the partnership will be the drafting of policies to create an ecosystem of drones for agriculture, which will increase productivity and sustainability for the country's 100,000 farmers.
