    The Government of Uzbekistan recognizes the importance of agriculture for enhancing national food security and strengthening the rural economy. Half of the country’s population lives in rural areas, and reducing the gap between urban and rural livelihoods is an important component in maintaining social stability. Agriculture has considerable potential for development, particularly in the production of cereals, potatoes and high-value vegetable crops to supply the growing domestic market and for export. In this regard, it was important to improve national legislation to facilitate trade. It was also necessary to promote and maintain an efficient and sustainable seed sector that would meet the needs of farmers, ruraldevelopment, and the national economy. In addition, there was an urgent need to establish collaborative initiatives to prevent the introduction and spread of quarantine pests in the country. Limited knowledge of modern plant protection methods and the absence of technically justified phytosanitary measures were serious constraints in Uzbekistan’s phytosanitary system, owing to a lack of experienced and trained personnel, as well as a shortage of modern equipment and communication means. Considering the above, the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) requested that FAO provide assistance to improve national seed and phytosanitary legislation, and strengthen national capacities in plant health and trade facilitation.
