Land Improvement Project

Future sector strategies and projects seeking to modernize agriculture in Uzbekistan will require a thorough analysis of the markets and an evaluation of the sustainability of previous interventions. The new sector reform strategy seeks to reduce farm quotas, support other high-value crops (including horticulture), and introduce more resource-efficient agricultural methods (e.g., drip irrigation). While enabling policies and strategies may help bring about modern agriculture practices, it is also imperative that the benefits that have been achieved through traditional interventions such as the Land Improvement Project are sustained.
