Recovery and Development of the Potato Sector in Response to COVID-19 - TCP/UZB/3805 2024

In Uzbekistan, potato is an important crop and a staple in the national diet, with an annual per capita potato consumption of approximately 52.6 kg. From a nutrition perspective, potatoes are low in fat, high in fibre, and rich in antioxidants, nutrients and healthy carbohydrates. They also produce fewer greenhouse gases than other food crops. In addition, potato cultivation represents a source of income and livelihood for many farmers in the country. Despite extensive production and a total yearly harvest of approximately 2.9 million tonnes, a significant percentage of harvested potatoes is lost due to pest infections and a lack of proper storage conditions. This creates shortages of supply, leading to imports of approximately 250 000 tonnes of potatoes for human consumption per year. Losses could be reduced through the establishment of more storage facilities and the enhancement of existing ones, but they can also be reduced through the prevention and control of pest infestations in the field.
