Gold is what generates major wealth for Uzbekistan so does Cotton and so it is called as "white gold". Infrastructure built during Soviet time here helps transit the cotton across the border despite being double land locked country. During Soviet period, Uzbekistan mainly served as a raw material source supplier particularly cotton. Emphasis was laid on to produce more cotton successfully. So infrastructure and good environment for workers was made. Cotton thus became white gold for the republic which produced 70 percent cotton of the whole Union.
In current time also Cotton happens to be cash crop in Uzbekistan. The production level has gone down in recent years though, because food crops are being given more importance in the country.
