These policies provide a good policy environment for the construction of bio fertilizer plant project in Uzbekistan.
- Environmental protection policy: Uzbekistan is strengthening environmental protection efforts to reduce the negative impact of agriculture on the environment. Bio organic fertilizer, as an environmentally friendly fertilizer, is in line with the direction of the country’s environmental protection policy.
Market demand growth
- The rise of organic agriculture: As global attention to food safety and health increases, Uzbek consumers’ demand for organic agricultural products is also gradually increasing. The development of organic agriculture has directly promoted the demand for bio organic fertilizers.
- Reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers: Uzbekistan’s agriculture has long relied on chemical fertilizers, leading to soil degradation and environmental pollution. Bio organic fertilizers can serve as a substitute for chemical fertilizers, helping to improve soil health and improve the quality of agricultural products.
- Export potential: Uzbekistan is an important exporter of agricultural products, and the growth in export demand for organic agricultural products will further drive the demand for bio organic fertilizers.
Increased environmental awareness
- Soil health issues: Long-term use of chemical fertilizers has led to soil degradation, salinization and other problems, and the Uzbek government and all sectors of society are paying increasing attention to soil health. Bio organic fertilizers can improve soil structure, increase soil organic matter content, and alleviate soil degradation problems.
- Reduce environmental pollution: Bio organic fertilizers use agricultural waste (such as straw, livestock and poultry manure, etc.) as raw materials, which not only reduces the pressure of waste treatment, but also reduces agricultural pollution to the environment.
- Sustainable Development Goals: Uzbekistan is promoting the realization of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the production and use of bio organic fertilizers are in line with these goals, especially in reducing environmental pollution and promoting sustainable agriculture.
Agricultural foundation
- The important position of agriculture in the economy: Agriculture is one of the pillar industries of Uzbekistan’s economy. Crops such as cotton, wheat, fruits and vegetables are planted in a large area, and the demand for chemical fertilizers is large. Bio organic fertilizer, as a substitute for chemical fertilizers, has a broad market space.
- Transformation of traditional agriculture: Uzbekistan is transforming from traditional agriculture to modern and sustainable agriculture, and bio organic fertilizer will play an important role in this process.
Abundant raw materials
- Rich agricultural waste resources: Uzbekistan has developed agriculture and animal husbandry, and produces a large amount of organic waste such as crop straw and livestock and poultry manure every year. These wastes are the main raw materials for the production of bio organic fertilizers, with sufficient supply and low cost.
- Sustainable use of raw materials: The use of agricultural waste to produce bio organic fertilizers not only solves the problem of waste disposal, but also realizes the recycling of resources, which is in line with the concept of circular economy.
Technical cooperation and innovation
