W ostatnim czasie obserwuje się ciągły rozwój wielu sektorów przemysłowych w Uzbekistanie. Jednak w niektórych oddalonych regionach, takich jak Chorezm, rozwój przemysłu, zwłaszcza w branży przetwórstwa w rolnictwie, jest nadal powolny. W warunkach niedostatku zasobów naturalnych głównym czynnikiem rozwoju gospodarki w tym regionie może być sektor owoców i warzyw. W artykule opisano rozwój tego sektora w regionie Chorezm, jaki zaobserwowano w ciągu ostatnich dwóch dekad. Przedstawiono również analizę SWOT i oszacowano potencjał łańcucha wartości w branży owocowo- -warzywnej dla rozwoju gospodarki regionalnej.
