Organizational–Economic Framework for Digitalization-Based Agribusiness Development in Uzbekistan

The rapid digital transformation occurring in Uzbekistan presents new opportunities for strengthening agribusiness competitiveness, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth. This study examines the organizational–economic framework required to accelerate digitalization-driven agribusiness development in the country. The research identifies key institutional reforms, investment policies, human-capital readiness, and infrastructural prerequisites that determine the success of digital transformation in agriculture. Using a mixed-methods approach combining a structured literature review, policy analysis, and empirical insights from national programs, the study reveals that successful agribusiness digitalization depends on coordinated actions of government institutions, digital service providers, financial intermediaries, and private agribusiness actors. The findings highlight the critical role of digital infrastructure, e-government services, data analytics, and precision-farming technologies in modernizing production processes and supply-chain management. The article proposes a conceptual model integrating organizational–economic prerequisites, digital technology adoption, and modernization outcomes. The research contributes to understanding how digital technologies reshape agribusiness value chains, enhance productivity, and foster sustainable economic development in transition economies like Uzbekistan. The results provide practical recommendations for policymakers, investors, and agribusiness enterprises seeking to accelerate digital transformation and strengthen the national agricultural innovation ecosystem.
