In the current context of large-scale reforms being carried out to decentralize governance in the regions of our country, the role of regions is becoming increasingly important, as reforms are being implemented at the republican, regional, and other administrative-territorial units of regions, which differ significantly from each other in their natural-ecological, socio-economic, demographic, and other development parameters. In this regard, during the reform process, the Action Strategy for the Further Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2017-2021 [1], adapted to modern conditions, was adopted, which set the task of actively attracting foreign investments to the sectors of the economy and regions of the country through the socio-economic development of regions, districts, and cities. In addition, the first steps have been taken in the republic to transition to an innovative economy, and the necessary conditions have been created for innovative activity. In particular, by the Decree President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PF-5544 [2] defines the Strategy of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the "Roadmap" for the implementation of the Strategy of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the target indicators of innovative development of the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2030. In order to ensure the implementation of the tasks set in these documents, decisions were made on the development of innovative activities in agriculture and measures were taken to introduce innovative technologies and ideas in all branches of agriculture. In addition, the Strategy for the Development of Agriculture [3] was adopted, which defines the priority directions for the development of agriculture until 2030, including the introduction of agro-innovative ideas, increasing labor productivity, and improving the quality of products. At the same time, the State Program for the implementation of the Action Strategy on five priority areas of development of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2017-2021 in the "Year of Development of Science, Enlightenment and digital economy" [4], assigned to relevant ministries and agencies to ensure the 19 ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN MODERN SCIENCE International scientific-online conference development of a program of practical measures for the widespread introduction of digital technologies in agriculture, as well as intensive technologies and innovations.
