Current State of Supplying the Population with Agricultural Products

Abstract

This article provides reasons for the need to study the level of supply of agricultural products in the world community. Also, in the article, the situation of providing the population of Uzbekistan with food products, which is the main product of agriculture, is studied. Addresses the increasing global demand for agricultural products driven by the rapid growth of the population, projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050. It highlights the need to increase agricultural production by 70% to meet future demands. Focusing on Uzbekistan, where agriculture contributes 32% of GDP and employs 27% of the workforce, the study emphasizes the importance of agricultural development as part of national policy. It examines the country’s strategies to ensure food security, particularly following the presidential decree aimed at strengthening food safety. Various challenges such as limited arable land, climate change, and water scarcity are discussed, alongside solutions like increased state support and improved transport infrastructure. The analysis reveals that Uzbekistan’s production of key food products surpasses the minimum consumption norms, demonstrating a positive trend in agricultural productivity. Key recommendations for improving food supply systems include state intervention in logistics and support for local farmers and producers, particularly in hard-to-reach areas
