At the initiative of the Geographic Society of Uzbekistan, a conference was held at the Ministry of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan on the topic “Prospects and world experience in growing industrial cannabis in Uzbekistan”.

The conference was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Geographic Society of Uzbekistan, professors and researchers from the National University of Uzbekistan, Istanbul Technical University of Turkey, Yozgat Bozok University and Marmara University, as well as representatives of the Turkish organizations "Baynet Global Diş Ticaret Limited Şirketi" and "Elite Arge" participated.

During the conference, lectures were given on the prospects for growing industrial cannabis in Uzbekistan, medicinal plants, the chemistry of industrial cannabis, its use in industry, industrial cannabis as a sustainable raw material, agricultural data analysis, blockchain technology and the use of technologies for the future of agriculture.

The participants of the conference presented information on the ongoing scientific work related to large-scale issues on the development of areas related to this topic and expressed their views on further development in the future. The participants also presented developments with innovative potential, which may be put into production in the future.

It should be noted that technical cannabis is an economically and ecologically suitable plant for the climate of Uzbekistan and has its own characteristics. For example, industrial cannabis is one of the fastest growing crops compared to cotton, with 1 hectare of land yielding 4 times more cellulose, uses less agrochemicals, requires less water, which allows to clean the environment from pollution. In addition, industrial cannabis is extremely useful in removing toxic substances from the soil for the rehabilitation of agricultural land, and within 110 days the plant reaches 2-3 meters in height and allows several crops in one season.

In more than 40 countries around the world, technical cannabis is used for industrial purposes. 

Industrial cannabis is widely used as a sustainable raw material in the textile, construction, cosmetics, paper, food, biofuel and other industries.

Legal entities with an appropriate license may engage in activities related to the cultivation of technical cannabis, its industrial processing, sale, etc.

Licenses are issued by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The amount of the fee for obtaining a license to carry out this type of activity is specified in Article 17 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan No.ZRU-653 dated December 3, 2020 “On amendments and additions to certain legislative acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan”.

The amount of fees for obtaining licenses for certain types of activities related to industrial cannabis in Uzbekistan has been approved. Cultivation of a plant will cost 3,000 BCA, and import (export), processing, storage, sale (release), purchase, transportation - 200 BCA for each of the listed activities. The license for the cultivation and use of industrial cannabis is issued for a period of 5 years. Decrees of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 770 of December 7, 2020 and No. 80 of March 1, 2022 were approved, which regulate the cultivation and use of cannabis plants for industrial purposes.

The cultivation of industrial cannabis plants in Uzbekistan is carried out in accordance with the principles of a "green" economy focused on sustainable agriculture, and creates an opportunity for the efficient use of natural and energy resources. Professors and researchers from Istanbul Technical University, Yozgat Bozok University and Marmara University of Turkey presented to the conference participants the scientific research carried out in Turkey on the cultivation and processing of the industrial cannabis plant. Scientists from Uzbekistan and Turkey working in this field agreed to continue scientific research in cooperation.

Also during the conference, experts from Turkey gave lectures on blockchain technology and its practical application, as well as spoke in detail about its advantages. The introduction of blockchain technology in the processes of growing agricultural products and delivering them to consumers is one of the most pressing problems in the modern world.

For information, the term "Blockchain" comes from the English language and means "chain mechanism". In other words, blockchain technology is a database that reflects a set of transactions or other digital events carried out within a particular electronic system. Information stored on the basis of blockchain technology is protected and transparent, and it is impossible to change.

Today, in order to further develop the digital economy, taking into account the best practices of foreign countries, the introduction of blockchain technologies in the activities of economic entities has become one of the important issues. The development of digital technologies will increase the activity of economic processes of business entities, increase competitiveness, and expand the possibilities for using funds among market economy entities based on a digital technology system.
