cotton production, and 10% of world cotton exports. At the same time cotton accounts for about 45% of

Uzbeks are encouraged from a young age to look forward to the time of year known simply as "pahta" -
cotton. The harvest is an opportunity for them to contribute to their nation's prosperity.

has signed an agreement with the farm for the next five years.
Malvina spoke to Outlook on the BBC World Service. Listen back to the interview via iPlayer or browse
