https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18442121Abstract
This article examines the key issues related to improving the agricultural insurance system in Uzbekistan amid
climate change and increasing natural risks affecting agricultural production. The study highlights major challenges,
including the high-risk nature of the agricultural sector, limited insurance coverage, and the constraints of voluntary
insurance mechanisms. The article substantiates the need for further institutional development of agricultural insurance and
stronger government support instruments. Special attention is given to policy measures outlined in the “Uzbekistan–2030”
Strategy, including the establishment of an insurance fund and the introduction of insurance premium subsidies, which are
expected to expand opportunities for comprehensive insurance coverage of agricultural products and livestock
