The Legitimization of Land Grabbing in Uzbekistan’s Cotton Sector - The Diplomat

Quick Summary:

Farmers pay a heavy price in the name of privatization.

Some 6,000 hectares of land that was taken away from farmers was transferred to the Art Soft Tex cluster, created by a government decree in September 2019.

Land grabbing in the agriculture sector has taken place throughout Uzbekistan since the adoption of the government decree on the “optimization” of farm land in 2019 “for the efficient use of agricultural land.” The mass seizure and redistribution of agricultural land in Uzbekistan has been imposed three times in the last 11 years, each time on the pretext of increasing the efficient use of land.
