How Yuldosh Abdulloev is Transforming His Family Farm with Green Technology

Yuldosh Abdulloev, a farmer from the Zarkhalol jamoat in the city of Istaravshan, has been working the land since childhood and values the fruits of hard labor. Today, he leads the family-owned farm “Ergashbobo,” which cultivates over 3 hectares of land with crops such as onions, melons, and grains.

Looking to increase efficiency and sustainability, Yuldosh took a forward-thinking step toward green technology. Through support from the microfinance institution “Imon International,” a GEFF partner, he was able to access green financing and implement modern agri-tech solutions—investments that are already paying off.

One of the most impactful upgrades was the installation of a drip irrigation system. Equipped with polyethylene piping and high-quality drip tape, the system has significantly reduced water usage while improving growing conditions. The result: higher, more consistent yields and reduced dependence on weather patterns.

Yuldosh also invested in more energy-efficient farming equipment and climate-adapted crop varieties. These changes have not only reduced manual labor but also freed up time for planning future expansion of the farm.

The outcome of these green investments is tangible: increased household income and the ability to hire seasonal workers from the local community, contributing to rural employment and sustainable development in the region.

“We used to do everything by hand,” Yuldosh shares. “Now, with drip irrigation and new machinery, we save water, effort, and time. We have a clear plan to grow the business—and we’re confident about the future.”

The Ergashbobo farm is a powerful example of how access to green finance and modern agri-tech can enable rural families to build stable, efficient businesses, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to regional food security.

Why It Matters:

• Water savings through drip irrigation
• Energy-efficient machinery = lower costs and emissions
• Job creation in rural communities

Greater resilience to climate-related risks
