Agricultural Trends in Uzbekistan for 2025
In 2025 Uzbekistan's agricultural sector is undergoing significant transformation through innovation, digitalization, and sustainability initiatives.
Growing Demand for Eco-Friendly Products
Organic farming is gaining momentum—not only globally but also in Uzbekistan. More and more buyers domestically and abroad are seeking chemical-free products.
- Farmers in the Samarkand and Namangan regions are already actively working on organic certification.
- The government offers benefits and subsidies to those switching to "green" production.
Even a partial transition to organic methods can increase product prices by 20–40%.
Digitalization of Farms
Drones, IoT sensors, online soil monitoring—technology is becoming more accessible.
- Farmers have started using drones for fertilizer application and field monitoring.
- Livestock and yield tracking programs save up to 30% of working time.
Digitalization is not a trend but a tool to improve efficiency. In 2025, access to these solutions will expand thanks to loans and government support programs.
New Export Markets
Besides traditional markets like Russia and Kazakhstan, interest in the Middle East and China is growing.
- Focus products include pomegranates, onions, greens, cotton, and nuts.
- Quality, packaging, and certification requirements are increasing.
Recommendation: Cooperate with export agents or cooperatives—they help enter foreign markets.
Simplified Financing and Subsidies
The Ministry of Agriculture and banks have announced new products for farmers:
- Agro-loans with deferred payments
- Crop insurance
- Targeted subsidies for drip irrigation and machinery
The application process has become easier—some documents can now be submitted online.
Water and Sustainability Are a Priority
Arid regions face water shortages. In response:
- Drip irrigation systems are expanding
- Salt-tolerant crops are gaining popularity
- Water reuse technologies are being implemented more actively
Sustainability is not a trend but a necessity for the future of agriculture.
Summary: Where Should Farmers Focus?
- Invest in education and technology
- Keep up with legislative changes
- Aim for export markets
- Try new crops and methods
- Join cooperatives—strength comes from unity
