Uzbekistan is actively progressing in its digital and rural transformation. The government is digitizing public services fostering a growing tech sector, and working toward rural innovation. The Unified Portal of Interactive Public Services of Uzbekistan, for instance, provides 350 public services in electronic format, which can be accessible to citizens and residents that have electronic identification through OneID Unified Identification System.

In Uzbekistan, the horticulture and livestock sectors are mainly composed of small-scale dehkkhan farmers, who lease plots ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 hectares, a structure that emerged post-independence. Two notable villages in Fergana, Novkent and Yuksalish, are part of the Digital Villages Initiative (DVI), focusing on smart greenhouse technologies and improved market access.

Agriculturally, Uzbekistan is modernizing farming methods and enhancing rural infrastructure, such as investing in agriculture machinery and adopting intensive production techniques. However, challenges like water scarcity, inadequate agricultural machinery, and bridging the urban-rural digital divide remain. Projects like DVI in Novkent and Yuksalish demonstrate a commitment to introducing digital tools to rural areas, paving the way for economic growth, enhanced public services, and improved quality of life in rural communities.
