This article discusses the role of the Middle Asian Economic Council (MAEC) in the development of Uzbekistan as a raw material base. However, this success in the field of cotton growing could have led to the establishment of cotton monopoly in the Central Asian republics, especially in the Uzbek SSR, and its harmful consequences could have had a significant negative impact on agriculture.
