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.
