The Republic of Uzbekistan Preparatory Survey for Project for Horticulture Value Chain Promotion
Republic of Uzbekistan Agency for Implementation of Projects in the Field of Agro-Industrial Complex and Food Supply (UZAIFSA) The Republic of Uzbekistan Preparatory Survey for Project for Horticulture Value Chain Promotion Final Report September 2019 Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Japan Economic Research Institute Inc. (JERI) Sanyu Consultants Inc. (SCI) Executive Summary 1. Background and Objectives Agricultural sector output in the Republic of Uzbekistan (‘Uzbekistan’) tends to be vulnerable to the fluctuation in the production of cotton due to the global market conditions as well as the weather conditions. With a view to coping with such uncertainty, the Government of Uzbekistan (‘GOU’) is trying to diversify the crops to reach out for the export market through shifting the production towards horticulture and strengthening the relevant value chains. On the other hand, the lack of facilities and capacity for forward looking farming operations is identified as the serious bottleneck for strengthening the value chain in Uzbekistan. While the demand for capital is widely recognized in horticulture production, processing and distribution, the supply of fund is not yet enough due to the banks’ lending behavior. Although multiple development partners ('DPs’) provide two-step loan (‘TSL’) projects and technical assistances (‘TAs’), such demands for fund are not fully met. Overcoming these obstaciles is an urgent issue for GOU from the viewpoint of job creation, diversification of agricultural productions, introduction of productive agricultural machinery and development of logistics infrastructure. This survey aims at facilitating the TSL for the horticulture sector in Uzbekistan (hereafter the ‘Project’), in line with the policy direction of GOU to further develop the sector.
