On May 1, 2025, a new phase of digitalization began in the agricultural sector of Uzbekistan — a pilot project for labeling agrochemical products using unique digital codes was launched.
For six months — until October 31 — the Asl Belgisi system will be applied to a range of agrochemicals, including:
• all types of fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, complex),
• micronutrients and methyl bromide,
• plant protection products (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides),
• growth regulators, disinfectants, and even sticky tapes.
Five leading agrochemical manufacturers have joined the experiment:
• Ifoda Agro Kimyo Himoya;
• Indorama Kokand Fertilizers and Chemicals;
• Maxam‑Chirchiq;
• Swissagro;
• Schelkova Agrohim‑O’zbekiston.
The goal of the pilot is to refine all processes of digital identification of agrochemicals and prepare the industry for mandatory labeling, which will come into effect in May 2026. This will enable transparent control over production and import of products, reduce the risks of smuggling, and completely eliminate counterfeit products in the market.
The initiative is being implemented as part of the President-approved "roadmap" to support agricultural producers. It aims to increase trust in Uzbek products, boost exports, and protect the domestic market from counterfeit goods.
