Livestock farming remains one of the priority areas for the development of Uzbekistan’s agricultural sector. In the coming years, the industry is set to receive a significant inflow of funding — $367 million from international sources.
📊 Growth in meat and dairy production
In 2026, Uzbekistan plans to import 100,000 head of cattle and 200,000 sheep and goats. Subsidies for the import of breeding livestock and chicks have been extended for another five years, lowering the entry barrier for new projects.
Access to financing:
✔️ $157 million from the World Bank and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)
✔️ $150 million from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)
✔️ $60 million from the Asian Development Bank (ADB)
Plans include the launch of 1,000 projects with a total value of UZS 5 trillion, including small-scale meat and dairy farms based on European models. Government support, international financing, and strong demand for livestock products make the sector one of the most stable and attractive areas for investment.
