Uzbekistan : Preparing the Livestock Value Chain Development Project
The proposed project will enhance livestock value chains. It will provide investment finance through eligible PFIs to increase the volume and improve the quality and safety of commercially-oriented livestock production and processing. It will also provide finance for commercial fodder and feed production and for the establishment or expansion and/or improvement of private sector service providers, notably veterinary services, in support of government policy. The project will build the capacity of PFIs in livestock-related credit policy, product development, procedures, outreach strategy, and in the identification, appraisal, and management of livestock sector lending. It will provide training, and technical support to help build the capacity of SVC to identify, monitor, and control livestock disease risks. The project also will enhance the capacity of selected private sector service providers as a demonstration of best practices.

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Around 40% of agricultural GDP is generated from livestock. The sector has experienced steady growth in recent years in both animal numbers and production. Production in 2017 amounted to 2.3 million tons of meat, 10.1 million tons of milk, and 6.6 billion eggs. Livestock numbers are projected to continue to increase over the period 2017 2020. In spite of increasing domestic output, Uzbekistan is a net importer of meat and milk, reflecting the government's aim of improving standards of human nutrition. The government regards national self-sufficiency as a means of improving the population's access to livestock products. | ||||
