Uzbekistan’s livestock industry is undergoing a dynamic transformation, offering attractive opportunities for foreign investors seeking growth, stability, and government-backed support. In 2024, the sector demonstrated robust performance, producing nearly 3 million tons of meat and over 12 million tons of milk, while also showing consistent increases in livestock population across key categories such as cattle, sheep, and goats. The government’s strategic reforms—including tax incentives, land access improvements, and VAT refunds—are aimed at modernizing the industry and attracting international expertise and capital. Regions such as Kashkadarya, Samarkand, and Tashkent lead in production volume, while Syrdarya and Karakalpakstan offer high growth potential. With international cooperation from organizations like ADB and JICA, a supportive regulatory framework, and growing domestic demand, Uzbekistan presents a compelling case for long-term, sustainable investment in the non-poultry segments of its livestock sector.

Uzbekistan offers competitive infrastructure costs, making it an attractive location for manufacturing investments. Key costs include:

- Gas: 12 cents per m³

- Electricity: 7 cents per kWh

- Water: 20 cents per m³
