Increasing The Economic Efficiency of Cotton-Textile Clusters: Ways to Optimize Costs

This research investigates the economic efficiency of cotton-textile clusters and explores effective strategies for cost optimization and productivity enhancement. Cotton production is traditionally labor-intensive and resource -demanding, particularly during the harvesting season, which incurs significant costs. The study employs econometric modeling using Stata 18.0 and SPSS 25.0, analyzing data from 133 clusters to assess key economic factors influencing total expenses. Results indicate that land area, farm management efficiency, financial resources, and irrigation investments significantly impact cost structures. The findings highlight that mechanization, improved financial management, and optimized irrigation systems contribute to expense reduction and overall profitability. The study provides practical recommendations for enhancing the economic sustainability of cotton-textile clusters.
