A consulting center has been opened in this area to provide support to farmers engaged in the cultivation of tropical plants. One such farmer is Mirkamill Kasymov, who manages a greenhouse of 5 acres with 30 lemon trees, as well as mandarins, bananas, and papayas. The lemon trees have been bearing fruit for eight years, and their productivity increases every year. According to Kasymov, a lemon tree can bear fruit for up to 100 years, requiring little care and providing high yields.

During the winter period, the temperature in the greenhouse is maintained at 10-15 degrees thanks to installed heating systems. In summer, the greenhouse is partially protected by a net from overheating. One lemon tree can produce up to 100 kg of fruit per year, and the price for lemons on the farm is 250 soms per kilogram, while on the market it reaches 300-350 soms. From each kilogram of lemons, about 370 g of quality juice can be obtained.
Mirkamill Kasymov collaborates with the "One Village - One Product" initiative, producing 2-3 thousand jars of lemon juice annually. This year, a new production line has been launched, offering three types of processed products, including the planned "lemon with honey" line. Additionally, employment for ten local women is provided.
