    Uzbekistan to attract $294mn for adapting agriculture to climate change

    Uzbekistan to attract $294mn for adapting agriculture to climate change

    Uzbekistan has developed a comprehensive 52-point national program designed to adapt agriculture to climate change and mitigate its impact, presidential press service informed.  

    During a meeting on May 10, President Mirziyoyev reviewed proposals aimed at addressing the degradation of agricultural land, particularly focusing on the effects of climate change on Uzbekistan's water resources and agricultural landscapes.

    In Uzbekistan, approximately 3 mn hectares of pastures and agricultural land have been degraded, with an additional 2 mn hectares suffering from varying degrees of salinization. Foreign experts have projected a potential 6% reduction in water resources in the region by 2030 due to climate change.

    To address these challenges, Uzbekistan has developed a comprehensive national program designed to adapt agriculture to climate change. The program is anticipated to attract over $294 mn in grant funds. Key initiatives include the improvement of agro-ecological landscapes and degraded pastures in the Aral Sea region, the establishment of protective forest belts in various regions, and the cultivation of drought-resistant crops in areas with poor water supply.

    Furthermore, Uzbekistan plans to establish a center for analyzing and forecasting climate change, install agrometeorological stations in five regions, and collaborate with Italy to create an International Center for Intensive Seed Growing and Nursery Growing. Water-saving technologies tailored to local conditions will be produced in Karakalpakstan to promote efficient water use.

    Water conservation measures will be implemented along the lower reaches of the Amu Darya, with subsidies allocated for laser leveling of lands in Karakalpakstan. This initiative aims to increase grain and rice yields while reducing water consumption. Plans also include the reintroduction of land into circulation at scientific experimental stations, the adoption of modern water-saving technologies, and the establishment of export-oriented fruit and grape cultivation farms.

    Moreover, Uzbekistan intends to support greenhouse farms by reimbursing a portion of the costs associated with hiring foreign agronomists and purchasing coal boilers. Additionally, the establishment of the Research Institute of Fiber Crops will drive scientific advancements in the cotton and textile industry, ensuring compliance with international standards and enhancing profitability.

    Previously, it was dislcosed that SUEZ, the global leader in water and waste management, initiated its operations in Tashkent by securing a seven-year management contract, employing 60 specialists to tackle Uzbekistan's water challenges. The contract introduced innovative solutions such as smart meters to decrease water consumption by 5-10% and digital systems to swiftly identify and address network leakages responsible for 30-50% of water loss. 

    In line with its investment strategy, SUEZ initiated a public-private partnership (PPP) venture in Sukhandarya and is constructing a significant wastewater treatment facility in Tashkent. Additionally, sustainable practices like groundwater replenishment and wastewater energy generation complement Uzbekistan's development objectives.
