G'ijduvon is in the irrigated cotton growing area of Uzbekistan between the Zeravshan River valley and the Shimolii canal. The town has a cotton processing plant which prepares cotton grown by the farmers in the region for export. Cotton's importance in Uzbekistan's economy has been continuously dropping since the independence in 1991 which is why G'ijduvon and the region has been diversifying its economy and its agriculture is moving away from cotton and branching into vegetable and fruit farming.
