agricultural machinery; technical modernization; mechanization; digital transformation.Abstract
From 2018 to 2024, Uzbekistan’s agriculture sector underwent substantial technical and technological transformation. This study analyzes national data on the agricultural machinery fleet—including tractors, grain harvesters, cotton pickers, and other machinery—and identifies key trends related to mechanization levels, equipment shortages, and the age and wear of the machinery park. The research also evaluates the introduction of digital agriculture practices such as drip irrigation, water-saving irrigation systems, drones, GPS tracking devices, and other precision farming technologies within the context of state-led modernization policies implemented during 2018–2024.
