Uzbekistan has no restrictions on gas supply to greenhouses, the Ministry of Energy confirmed in a recent statement.
The Ministry clarified that greenhouse owners can use gas by paying the required fees. From October to December, a 50% advance payment is required for gas supplies. Starting from January, a full 100% advance payment will be necessary.
It is important to note that since 2023, many greenhouse farms and businesses have shifted to coal to save on gas. Earlier this year, the Ministry reported that the number of greenhouses in Uzbekistan had grown 2.5 times over the past five years, with 60% of them using coal for heating.
