Abstract
The agricultural sector is a cornerstone of Uzbekistan's economy, facing challenges such as low productivity, inefficient water use, and vulnerability to climate change. Digital transformation, encompassing technologies like precision farming, IoT, Big Data, AI, and remote sensing, is increasingly recognized as crucial for modernizing the sector, improving productivity, ensuring food security, and promoting sustainable development. This paper reviews scholarly articles and reports analyzing the digital economic transformation in Uzbekistan's agriculture, evaluating the current state of digitalization, government initiatives, implemented technologies, key drivers, prevailing challenges, and potential impacts. Synthesizing diverse perspectives from the sources, it identifies recurring themes such as the strategic importance of government support, the promising potential of specific technologies like remote sensing and drones, and significant barriers including inadequate infrastructure, low digital literacy, and financial constraints for smallholders. While research highlights positive outcomes like increased yields and resource efficiency in pilot projects, it also reveals gaps, particularly in comprehensive quantitative impact assessments and detailed analyses of socio-economic implications. The review underscores the need for sustained, coordinated efforts across policy, infrastructure, education, and finance to realize the full potential of digital agriculture in Uzbekistan and ensure equitable benefits for all stakeholders.
