The Possibilities of Increasing the Efficiency of Growing and Using Medicinal Plants

This paper explores the increasing global interest in medicinal plants, particularly in Uzbekistan, where agro-economic reforms have influenced the sector. Despite the economic potential of medicinal plants, organizational and economic mechanisms for their cultivation in Uzbekistan remain underexplored. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing statistical data on cultivation areas and production volumes across various regions of Uzbekistan. The findings reveal a marked increase in cultivation efficiency, especially in Karakalpakstan and Kashkadarya. These results highlight the potential of targeted reforms and investments to enhance biodiversity and economic output. The study emphasizes the need for further modernization and international collaboration to fully optimize the medicinal plant sector in Uzbekistan.
