Uzbekistan to establish greenhouse economic zone in Surkhandarya region

The measures were approved on March 25, 2026, with a target to develop at least 940 hectares of greenhouses by the end of 2027. Authorities aim to increase the share of greenhouses using energy-efficient and alternative heating systems to at least 50%.
Its responsibilities include introducing modern and digital agricultural technologies, supporting the implementation of drip irrigation and renewable energy, facilitating access to infrastructure through a single-window system, and assisting with export documentation and subsidies. From June 1, 2026, to June 1, 2028, greenhouse connections to engineering infrastructure within the zone will be provided free of charge.
Why this matters: This matters when it gives operators a clearer way to manage water, nutrients, and root-zone risk. That kind of control usually improves both resource efficiency and crop consistency.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should growers evaluate before changing a lighting strategy?
They should look at crop type, canopy structure, current light distribution, energy cost, expected yield gain, and whether the new strategy improves whole-canopy efficiency.
Why is light distribution often as important as light quantity?
Because adding more photons to already saturated leaves does less work than improving how light reaches the parts of the canopy that are still underperforming.
