PRODUCTION COSTS IN COTTON-TEXTILE AGROCLUSTERS, THEIR STRUCTURAL CHANGES AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

Abstract

This article provides a scientific analysis of production costs in cotton-textile agro-clusters, their
structural changes, and economic efficiency. In addition, the dynamics of expenditures on cotton cultivation, labor
costs, mineral fertilizers, fuel and lubricants, and other cost components are examined. The results of the analysis
allow for identifying opportunities for efficient use of production resources, cost optimization, and improvement of
the economic efficiency of cotton production. Furthermore, the study scientifically substantiates the prospects for sustainable development and increasing the competitiveness of agro-clusters through the implementation of
mechanization and energy-saving technologies.
