The Government of Uzbekistan has signed a Loan Agreement with ADB for the electrification of the railway line Pap – Namangan - Andijan. The proposed project will electrify the missing 145.2 km of non-electrified track linking major cities in the populous Fergana Valley with Tashkent. This will facilitate direct and efficient operation of both freight and passenger train services and thereby promote economic and social development of the Fergana Valley. 2. ADB has provided a technical assistance for the Project preparation in accordance with ADB requirements. Along with this, the national feasibility study are being developed by national design institute Boshtransloyiha (BTL). 3. The Project will be implemented within a period of three years starting from May 2017. Preparation and planning activities was carried out during 2016-2017. The estimated completion date is June 2020 and the financial closing date is December 2020. 4. The project will have two outputs: (i) Output 1: Railway infrastructure along the Pap-Namangan-Andijan line upgraded. This includes electrification of 145.2 km of the single-track main railway line to 27.5 kilovolts alternating current (including the electrification of the locomotive depot in Andijan and a spur line to Uchkurgan), construction of 2 traction substations and dispatcher points, purchase of maintenance equipment and machinery, modernization of signaling and communications facilities, and construction of external power supply facilities which will transmit electricity from the main grid to the traction substations. The project will build upon another initiative being taken by UTY and the government to realign 6,7 km of the railway line to bypass a section of the line that currently traverses the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic. The construction of this bypass will not be considered part of the ADB-financed project, but rather as an associated facility. UTY and the government confirmed that the development of the bypass was not done in anticipation of ADB’s financing of the project. (ii) Output 2: Safety of railway operations improved. With the project, it is expected that train frequencies and speeds will increase. In addition, the presence of the power lines may pose additional risks of electrocution. To offset any potential negative impacts, the project will support UTY in (i) conducting an assessment of the existing and anticipated safety situation to the general public including children, (ii) supporting the development of practical countermeasures, and (iii) training of staff to plan future railway developments in the safest manner. 5. Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) was conducted for the Project which consisted of Initial examination of electrified part of railway (145,2 km) and due diligence for the realigning 6,7 km. Based on the results of due diligence assessment of new 6.7 km a Corrective Actions Plan (CAP) was developed in order to bring environmental performance at construction site in compliance with ADB SPS (2009) requirements. 6. Supervision Consultant for this project took up its duties in December 2017. It is planning that preparation of tender documents for Contractor will be completed in first quarter of 2018. 7. This environmental monitoring report provides information on status of the CAP implementation for the period July-December 2017 and next steps for full implementation activities indicated in the CAP. Next bi-annual EMR will include information on CAP implementation for the new part of alignment and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) implementation for existing part. 5 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 Existing situation 41. Pap-Namangan-Andijan railway line under consideration runs through the territory of two provinces of Ferghana Valley of Uzbekistan – Namangan (Pap, Chust, Namangan, Chortoq, Khakkulabad districts) and Andijan (Figure 1). Namangan’s part of the road is about 112 km, while Andijan’s part is about 33 km. The railway line runs through the territory of settlements and agricultural lands. The main settlements that are crossed by the railroad are: Pap city, Namangan, Chortoq, Uychi, Haqqulobod, Paytug, Qurgan Yer, and Andijan city. 42. The existing railway line is a single-track line, and the length of the section to be electrified is 145.2 km. The railway

KEYWORDS-Farms, poverty, entrepreneurship, cluster, pandemic, credit. I. INTRODUCTION Today, the pandemic, which is leaving a complex mark on the world economy, is having a negative impact on all sectors of the economy, from large enterprises to small businesses and private entrepreneurship. In order to prevent such negative consequences, a new system of business support is being introduced in our country. Due to the conditions created by our state, the number of people willing to engage in entrepreneurial activities is growing. Especially in rural areas, they are engaged in horticulture, horticulture, horticulture, beekeeping, animal husbandry, poultry, fisheries, handicrafts, services and other industries due to the nature of the region. It is obvious that special attention is paid to the development of family business, especially small farms. This is not only a socio-economic task, but also a political goal aimed at changing the worldview of our people, sharply increasing their interest in earning income through labor.

The Fergana Valley, which is rich in nature and is known for its temperate climate, is characterized by the fact that it combines many aspects of the country's agritourism. As a result of our research, we have identified the Fergana Valley as a separate agro-tourist area. The region is rich in high mountains, medium mountains, low mountains (hills), central desert plains, irrigated (anthropogenic) plains, and a wide range of agrotouristic potential and opportunities. The creation and development of new tourist destinations is great importance to increase the economic potential of the country. This article describes the possibilities of agrotourism of the Fergana valley. The purpose of the work is an identification of agro-tours and organization of agro-tourist routes on the basis of the analysis of agro-tourism potential and opportunities of Fergana agro-tourist region. 1 Introduction New prospects for tourism are opening up in our country, and large-scale projects are being implemented in various directions. In particular, in recent years, new types of tourism such as ecotourism, agrotourism, mountaineering, rafting, geotourism, educational tourism, medical tourism are gaining popularity [1-4]. Today, it is important to develop the types of tourism in the regions by studying their tourism potential [1, 3].
