Keywords:
Karakalpakstan, agriculture, production dynamics, investment, sustainability, food security.Abstract
This paper analyzes the dynamics of agricultural production in the Republic of Karakalpakstan between 2019 and 2024. Using official statistical data, the study evaluates changes in gross agricultural output, crop yields, and livestock development. The findings reveal a significant increase in agricultural production, from 2.5 million tons in 2019 to 8.6 million tons in 2024, highlighting the impact of state reforms, investment flows, and technological modernization. However, persistent challenges such as water scarcity, soil salinization, and limited financial resources remain crucial constraints. Comparative insights from neighboring countries demonstrate the potential of adopting modern irrigation and farm management systems. Based on the analysis, practical recommendations are proposed to ensure sustainable agricultural growth in Karakalpakstan.
