Abstract
The article considers a specific area of greenhouse vegetable production, which is an important area of greenhouse farming that significantly affects the availability of plant products and canned vegetables yearly in the Republic of Uzbekistan. In adopting greenhouse vegetable cultivation, certain factors are considered, such as the location of the farm, natural and climatic conditions, and types of farming, that as open field or protected farming. Agriculture is the main pillar of the country’s economy. This work aims to study greenhouse vegetable farming adopted in the country. It also aims to study the technological innovation applied in its operation, its structural and functional organization, and the economic benefits derived from it. The study data were obtained from the statistical database of the World Bank. The data were analyzed based on the descriptive statistics of the factors characterizing the organizational and economic mechanisms of agriculture in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The study results show that the main technology adopted in the country for the proper running of greenhouse farming is greenhouse vegetable clusters, and there is a strong correlation between the organizational and economic indicators of the greenhouse vegetable clusters. It is found that the economic yield of the greenhouse vegetable clusters depends on the patterns in which the clusters are organized, such as the availability of labor, as well as transport routes for transporting products. Adopting the appropriate policies for organizing the clusters could lead to sustainable food security for the population of the country, including the development of agricultural infrastructures, such as road networks, crop storage facilities, access to electricity, foreign investments, domestic loans, etc. The work analyzes the production efficiency and current economic status of farms. It also gives recommendations for improving the production of vegetable crops in the greenhouse.
