In today's globalization and digital economy, agribusiness has become one of the most important sectors of the economy. Indeed, as we know, humanity has a constant need for 3 things: food, clothing, housing, all of which cannot be provided without agricultural products. Regulation of legal relations in agribusiness, especially the correct and effective conduct of contractual relations, is one of the necessary conditions for the sustainable development of the industry. However, a number of problems arise in agribusiness contracts in modern conditions. METHODOLOGY. Contracts in agribusiness usually cover various areas such as the supply of agricultural products, processing, storage, provision of services, or conducting partnership activities. These contracts are regulated by the Civil Code of the Republic of 84 ILM-FAN VA INNOVATSIYA ILMIY-AMALIY KONFERENSIYASI in-academy.uz/index.php/si Uzbekistan, the Law "On Farming" , the Law " On the Contractual Legal Framework of the Activities of Economic Entities " and other regulatory legal acts.

Each contract must be concluded taking into account its subject matter, parties, amount and other specific features, even taking into account possible disputes. Failure to comply with the form required by law will render the contract invalid only if it is directly provided for in the law.

The rules stipulated in Part Two of Article 114 of this Civil Code shall apply to such a transaction. A transaction concluded in the presence of corruption, including a conflict of interest, will be declared invalid in court. The legal status of electronic contracts is not fully established. Agribusiness entities often make technical and legal errors when concluding electronic contracts. Some entrepreneurs and farms act without seeking legal advice when concluding contracts, which can be detrimental to them. Especially when concluding large contracts without legal advice, it can only worsen the situation of the business entity in the future. Due to the frequent fluctuations in the prices of agricultural products, the terms and conditions at the time of conclusion of the contract quickly become irrelevant. This necessitates the adaptation of the legal mechanisms of the contract. There are cases of violation of the principles of injustice and proportionality in determining penalties and compensation in case of breach of contract. When drawing up a contract, it is necessary to individualize it when using model contracts or copying from other contracts . Failure to do so may lead to various misunderstandings.
