Consulting Services for the implementation of the activities related to the development of the cooperatives in Uzbekistan
Background: The decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on measures for the development of agricultural cooperatives in the fruit and vegetable industry, dated 14.04.2019, helped to establish the first agricultural cooperatives in Uzbekistan. Since then, only a few cooperatives have been established. In 2020, 94 cooperatives were officially operational. In 2021, only 40 cooperatives were left. The main reason is that local specialists, especially staff of the government organizations, have limited knowledge, information, and experience on the role and meaning of cooperatives.
