FORMS OF MANAGEMENT IN AGRICULTURE IN UZBEKISTAN: SCIENTIFIC AND THEORETICAL BASIS OF ITS EFFECTIVENESS
Abstract
During the early years of independence (1990s), agricultural and institutional changes in Uzbekistan were made based on the specific characteristics of our country.During transformation, almost nothing has changed in terms of effectivity in regards to transformation of state farms to collective farms still did not make these farms profitable.Only with the formation of dehkan farms (a form of individual farming) after 2004 did agricultural entities started becoming profitable.How can this be explained?Why are these agricultural forms of management more efficient and coincide with the mentality of our population?In this article, using the neo-institutional theory, we have discussed these questions in an attempt to answer these questions by justifying a theoretical point.This theory shows that major issue property rights and transaction costs play main role in the definition of forms of farms management.Statistical analysis of transaction costs and local specifics resulted in a conclusion that the dehkan farming form has significant advantages.
