The article analyzes the issues of development and territorial organization of plant growing in thee Aran economic-geographical region, as well as the role of climate factors in plant growing. Main parameters of the climate, important in terms of plant growing are shown, and the issues of area extension and increasing of the output of plantations are studied. The article examines the share of the plant-growing, as well as relevant trends typical for the studied region. There have been considered such issues as the regional structure of plant-growing, irrigated areas, increase of productivity in these areas and improvement of welfare of rural population by boosting production, as well as meeting population’s demand for food through domestic manufacture and strengthening the export potential along with the above mentioned issues,. The results of comparative and statistical analysis have shown that plant-growing has been significantly developed in the Aran (lowland) economic-geographical region in recent years but the wheat-growing areas which are of strategic importance in ensuring food security of population have decreased while paddy and cotton growing fields expanded.
