The article provides a description of Uzbekistan’s organic products, which have the potential to enter the global market under a single brand. The Head of State, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, emphasized that the production of food based on organic agriculture is a requirement of modern times, as well as an important factor in preserving and protecting humanity, nature, and the world’s soils, while speaking at the Summit of Turkic-speaking States. In this regard, it is necessary to establish an expert
working group under the leadership of the ministers of agriculture of these countries to select the first “pilot” projects and implement them in our countries. The main objective of organic agricultural production is to reduce environmental pollution to zero and to produce safe and healthy food products from field crops. The use of genetically modified organisms is strictly prohibited. Inorganic fertilizers, synthetic pesticides and agrochemicals that accelerate plant growth, as well as genetically modified organisms, are also not used.
There are international and national standards for organic farming, and before organic agricultural products enter the market, it is necessary to obtain a special certificate confirming that the farming practices fully comply with all standards and that the soil, nature, water, and air are completely clean. To implement this, 10 agro-logistics centers and more than one thousand cold storage facilities will be established. More than 40,000 hectares will be developed as industrial-intensive orchards and vineyards. For this purpose, entrepreneurs will be provided with subsidies to obtain “Organic,” “GlobalGAP,” “Halal,” and “Kosher” certificates.

This article examines the role of land resources in agricultural production and sustainable national development. Soil is analyzed both as a physical environment essential to human life and as a primary, non-renewable means of production requiring systematic conservation. The study highlights the global significance of soil as the planet's principal medium for the decomposition of organic and mineral compounds. Special attention is given to the agricultural potential of Uzbekistan, which possesses 0.25 hectares of arable land and 0.15 hectares of irrigated arable land per capita, alongside favorable climatic conditions and abundant labor resources. The article presents practical recommendations for improving soil fertility through the application of technical, organic, and organomineral fertilizers in accordance with regional scientific guidelines, with reference to farming practices in the Altyary, Kuva, Tashlok, Fergana, and Rishtan districts of the Fergana region. The study also addresses ongoing efforts to restrict pesticide use and proposes integrated livestock management at the household level as a means of generating additional income and ensuring a sustainable supply of organic fertilizer. The findings underscore that the rational use of domestic land resources represents a strategic pathway toward food security and increased agricultural exports.
