What does this research mean for the field?

Uzbekistan's agricultural sector is undergoing a structural transformation characterized by declining shares in GDP and employment but increasing export value and cluster-driven yield premiums, indicating a shift toward higher value addition rather than a decline of the sector. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To evaluate structural shifts, value addition, and water productivity enhancements in Uzbekistan's agricultural sector driven by diversification and agro-industrial clustering.

To evaluate structural shifts, value addition, and water productivity enhancements in Uzbekistan's agricultural sector driven by diversification and agro-industrial clustering.
Conducted a descriptive evaluation using secondary indicators compiled from the World Bank, ILO, FAOSTAT, and the Uzbekistan Statistics Agency.
Quantified longitudinal shifts in agricultural GDP shares, employment levels, export revenue growth rates, cluster yield premiums, and cotton water productivity.
The agricultural share of GDP declined from 37.09% in 1991 to 16.56% in 2025 (a 55.35% decrease), while agricultural employment fell from 39.53% in 1994 to 25.20% (a 36.25% decrease).
Agricultural export earnings increased 53.19%, rising from $2.263 billion in 2023 to $3.467 billion.
Cotton yields averaged 2.89 tons per hectare within integrated cotton-textile clusters versus 2.36 tons per hectare outside them, reflecting a 22.46% cluster yield premium.
