2018Also available in:
FAO in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources of Uzbekistan organized the International Conference on Development of Organic Agriculture in Central Asia during 22-24 August 2017 within the framework the project TCP/UZB/3501. The major objectives were to bring together experiences in Central Asian and neighboring countries, discuss locally adapted systems and best practices and finally to initiate a network to allow future cooperation. The Conference was attended by researchers, extensionists, representative of civil society organizations, farmers’ organizations and private companies as well as practitioners. The Proceedings of the Conference aims to compile the data collected during the Conference and archive for future. The Proceeding of the Conference will surely provide the initial informationn to promote further collaboration between countries, institutions, research and practices and producers and traders. As mentioned in the Final Declaration of the Conference, we hope that this platform and the initiative will be further supported and repeated in the coming years. -
ProjectStrenghtening Organic Agriculture in Uzbekistan - TCP/UZB/3501 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture is a major sector of the economy in Uzbekistan, but agrifood quality and productivity problems reduce the country’s competitiveness in global markets. There are also significant environmental issues, such as wind and water erosion, and natural resources are being depleted. Quality guarantee systems, namely organic and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), provide a certifiable and traceable system for high quality, sustainable products. Moreover, knowledge sharing and dissemination for these production systems can trigger the adoption of newly introduced techniques and help farmers access markets for high value products. In Uzbekistan, a lack of legislation, institutional framework, data and knowledge hindered the sound and rapid development of these guarantee systems. Therefore, this project aimed to increase rural and food security by increasing crop productivity and improving the competitiveness of domestic products and production of value-added products for export markets. -
Book (stand-alone)Aquaculture sector situational analysis of Uzbekistan 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Uzbekistan has abundant inland water resources, namely rivers and lakes, which are suitable for freshwater aquaculture. However, the production of fish is generally low compared to the resource potential due to the collapse of collectivized farms, a lack of interest in commercial operations and producer associations by local farmers, and the limited capacity of government extension and research facilities to promote fish production. Growing interest by the Government in fish production has led to an increase in investment in the aquaculture sector. This has resulted in significant gains in fish production in recent years. Government land distribution schemes for smallholder fish farmers to establish individual fishponds to produce carp are a major contributing factor to these gains. There is no existing national fisheries or aquaculture sector specific development policy or plan, and reference to government policy towards the sector are through a number of existing presidential decrees. Given that the sector has witnessed a significant increase in fish production over recent years, addressing this issue (using other country fisheries policy and legislation as a potential model) was seen as an important first step for any coherent strategic plan for the sector. The report was compiled in 2020 as one of the outcomes of the TCP/UZB/3703 project focusing on national review and strategy for aquaculture sector and fish value chain in Uzbekistan. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this report was based solely on data sourced from the internet, academic papers and field data provided by the national consultant, including aquaculture value chain mapping and analysis of the project. The report includes a description of the Uzbekistan aquaculture sector, analyses its problems and opportunities, and presents options for its development.
