A delegation from Uzbekistan’s Tashkent Region, led by regional governor Zoir Mirzaev, is currently on a working visit to the Kingdom of Spain. This visit aims to explore advanced practices in greenhouse farming, seed production, and agricultural technologies. The initiative underscores Uzbekistan’s commitment to modernizing its agricultural sector and enhancing food security through innovative solutions.
The primary objective of this visit is to foster cooperation with Spanish greenhouse equipment manufacturers and agro-industrial companies. By learning from Spain’s extensive experience in agricultural technology, Uzbekistan hopes to introduce modern practices that can significantly boost productivity and sustainability in its farming sector.
During their trip, the delegation is engaging in discussions in the province of Almería, renowned as one of the world’s largest greenhouse production hubs. Covering approximately 31,000 hectares, Almería’s greenhouse complexes are pivotal in supplying a substantial volume of vegetables to the European market. The region’s agricultural model is characterized by intensive farming practices that thrive in arid conditions, utilizing techniques such as drip irrigation and hydroponics.
A highlight of the visit was the delegation’s tour of Future Farms Solutions S.L., a Spanish company specializing in agricultural technology solutions. This company is at the forefront of developing high-tech greenhouse systems and digital agricultural management tools. They also focus on integrating artificial intelligence into agro-monitoring, alongside energy-efficient and water-saving technologies. Such innovations could be transformative for Uzbekistan’s agricultural landscape.
By leveraging Spain’s expertise, Uzbekistan aims to not only enhance its agricultural output but also to ensure that its practices are sustainable and environmentally friendly. The collaboration could pave the way for future partnerships, leading to a more resilient agricultural sector that can adapt to the challenges posed by climate change and global market demands.
