Ways to improve the efficiency of land use in rural settlements of Uzbekistan

This study addresses the implementation of Presidential Decree No. PF-5199 (October 7, 2017) of the Republic of Uzbekistan, which focuses on protecting farmers' rights and optimizing agricultural land use. The research examines strategies to enhance land use efficiency in rural settlements across three districts of Karakalpakstan (Tortkol, Ellikkala, and Beruniy). Key organizational measures identified include: (1) improving registration systems for land rights and immovable properties, (2) optimizing land use practices, (3) formalizing rental agreements, (4) maintaining accurate land rights documentation, and (5) conducting timely land inventories. These interventions demonstrate significant potential for increasing the productivity of existing agricultural lands in rural areas. The findings highlight how systematic approaches to land management can yield positive impacts on agricultural efficiency while supporting the goals of national land reform policies.
