There are reports of fraud in the implementation of drip irrigation technologies in Shurchi district. In 2021, Shurchi Indenim Klaster LLC planned to introduce technologies on 1б376 hectares of cotton fields and received a state subsidy for these works. In fact, the contracting organization "Agro New Drip" LLC carried out work on 142.7 hectares, but did not complete them. In the reports, all work was indicated as completed.

The head of Amu-Surkhon Basin Department of Irrigation Systems T. A. and other officials used the opportunity to get subsidies for implementing drip irrigation and forged documents on the implementation of the technology on an area of ​​993 hectares, in addition to the above 152.7 hectares.

As a result, "Shurchi Indenim Klaster" without any reason was allocated a subsidy of 6.747 billion soums from the state budget. It цфs reported about the recovery of damages in favor of the state.

Since 2018, the state has been subsidizing the introduction of drip irrigation for cotton fields. Then, raw cotton producers were provided with a subsidy in the amount of 8 million soums per hectare of raw cotton sown area at the expense of the state budget. In 2021, subsidies of 1.5 trillion soums were allocated to agricultural producers to cover part of the costs of introducing water-saving technologies and to cover part of the interest expenses on bank loans.
