| description | Potato is an important crop in Uzbekistan agriculture for multiple reasons. It contributes to food security and nutrition quality. This crop has been facing pests and diseases with limited efforts to address these issues. This rapid assessment conducted in spring 2023 helps to fill the gap in how the potato seed system is organized and functioning. We used the multi-stakeholder framework to collect information from key actors involved in the potato value chain. Our results show relatively weak ties among all the stakeholders.
Laws and regulations regulate the distribution and use of only certified seed for planting. Despite this, there is also a distribution of non-certified potato seeds. In the republic, local and imported varieties are used for planting. As there is a slightly growing interest in food processors at the end of the potato value chain, there is room for research and policy to structure and reinforce the potato seed system in Uzbekistan. There is an actor's willingness to specialize in each segment of the potato sector. We identify the need for an integrated approach in both research and public interventions in the potato industry. |
