Uzbekistan will launch silk farming courses specifically for women.

In Uzbekistan, women will have the opportunity to participate in short-term training courses in sericulture. This initiative is outlined in a government decree titled "On Measures for the Gradual Employment of Women in the Sericulture Sector."
В Узбекистане стартуют курсы по коконоводству для женщин.

Women who have completed their training will be given priority for employment on both a seasonal and permanent basis in sericulture clusters, enterprises engaged in silkworm seed production, as well as in farms involved in sericulture and mulberry tree cultivation. This is outlined in the relevant presidential decree.

Within a month, specialists in sericulture from China, Vietnam, India, and Japan are expected to be invited to conduct short-term courses.

Information about citizens engaged in cocoon production will be recorded on the platform "yangiish.mehnat.uz". There will also be a count of the number of women who have completed training and secured seasonal or permanent jobs in the industry.
