Also available in:
No results found.Resources of the Republic of Uzbekistan, requested assistance from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), under its Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP), for the sustainable development and management of the fisheries sector in the country. FAO approved the project “Development of strategic partnerships in support of responsible fisheries and aquaculture development in Uzbekistan”, TCP/UZB/3103 (D), in August 2007. This FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Circula r has two main aims. First, it intends to inform those interested in inland capture fisheries and aquaculture in Uzbekistan about the current situation with regard to fishery resources and their utilization in the country. Second, it attempts to provide the results of a participatory policy and strategy framework development process, which might be of use also for other countries in transition in the Central Asian region. The two documents presented in this Fisheries and Aquaculture Ci rcular are considered final versions and cleared as such by the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources of the Republic of Uzbekistan. They are also available in the Russian language from the ministry. The document entitled “Review of the current status of inland capture fisheries and aquaculture in the Republic of Uzbekistan” is presented in Part I of this circular. The document entitled the “Conception of aquaculture and capture fisheries development of the Republic of Uzbekistan , 2008–2016” is contained in Part II. -

Book (stand-alone)Potential of crop diversification to address the hidden costs of major crop value chains in Central Asia
Background paper for The State of Food and Agriculture 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood systems play a pivotal economic and social role in the five Central Asia (CA5) countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. These not only contribute significantly to the gross domestic product (GDP) of these countries but also serve as a primary source of employment for a substantial portion of their populations. Despite the importance of agrifood systems, the CA5 countries lack capacity to ensure food security and mitigate climate change, which is increasingly threatening the region. These challenges highlight the need for more sustainable practices, including a shift towards more diversified agricultural production systems. FAO’s The State of Food and Agriculture 2023 report introduces true cost accounting (TCA) as an approach to uncovering the hidden costs of agrifood systems. The report estimated that quantified hidden costs of agrifood systems in CA5 countries amount to approximately 116 billion dollars at 2020 purchasing power parity (PPP). Globally, the region accounts for almost 1 percent of total quantified hidden costs. Overall, this study aims to provide an overview of the CA5 countries' agrifood systems through targeted hidden cost assessments across major crop value chains and the potential of crop diversification in partly reducing these hidden costs. In doing so, this report hopes to become a viable tool to inform decisions and policymaking in a transparent and consistent way in CA5 countries.
