PROPERTIES AND POTENTIAL OF WALNUT GROWING IN UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

Despite the favorable climatic conditions for the cultivation of walnuts, Uzbekistan is not one of the main exporters of this product. Organization of walnut cultivation in Uzbekistan using the cluster method can be a solution to meet the needs of the processing industry in raw materials. Convenience of climatic conditions gives a great advantage in this direction. Large industrial walnut orchards in Uzbekistan can be created on a cooperative basis. An example of this approach is the experience of entrepreneurs who combine efforts to grow and use walnuts, acquiring 2 hectares of land for agricultural entrepreneurship. Procurement points will be able to form bulk batches of nuts, sell them on the domestic market or export them, acting in the form of service cooperatives.
