Investments and trade in Uzbekistan - safe development in the agricultural sector

The dynamic development of the Uzbekistan economy results from the ongoing structural reforms and the gradual opening of the market to external capital. The country's capital, Tashkent, is a thriving business and administrative center where key economic decisions are made.

Investments in Uzbekistan receive government support in the form of tax breaks and the creation of special economic zones. At the same time, the Uzbek embassy and local institutions support foreign industrial initiatives. However, to conduct business safely abroad, it is necessary to thoroughly understand the local regulatory environment. Amberlan supports the formal organisation of transactions and coordinates legal-risk matters in cooperation with local law firms.

Uzbekistan has a large production potential, and agriculture is one of the main pillars of the national economy. Government programs support modern agricultural processing, the development of refrigeration infrastructure and innovative food production.

Investments in agriculture in this market require knowledge of the formal specifics related to land use:

• Agricultural land in Uzbekistan remains state property, but a foreign investor can obtain long-term use or lease rights to it through appropriate capital structures.
• Large-scale plant cultivation is supported, with particular emphasis on vegetables, fruit and cotton.
• There is a growing demand for modern technologies that increase the efficiency of harvested crops and save water resources.

In parallel to direct projects, business contacts are developing in the supply of production inputs. Exports to Uzbekistan include advanced agricultural machinery, fruit sorting and packaging lines, and specialised agricultural inputs.

For the success of the project in Central Asia, constant presence at the project site is crucial. Amberlan takes over the operational management of agricultural assets on behalf of the foreign investor, ensuring the implementation of the designated financial indicators. We adjust the scope of activities to the individual needs of the investor:

• Organization and control of field work within the designated agrotechnical deadlines.
• Organisational support in supervising staff, including seasonal employees.
• Optimization of the use of machinery and control of the consumption of agricultural production resources.
• Conducting constant on-site monitoring and reporting the results directly to the investor.
