Sub-component 1.2 Seed and seedling production (US$37.0 million). Due to the past underinvestment in 
agricultural R&D, seed production, and seed/seedling quality assurance system, more than 90 percent of horticulture 
seedlings and seeds in Uzbekistan are currently imported. Some of them is not suitable for different agroecological zones, 
which is penalizing farmers and foregoing the country’s export opportunities. The objective of this sub-component is to 
rebuild local seed and seedling production systems, focusing on critical public functions. Specifically, it will seek to: (i) 
increase the supply, in sufficient quantity and acceptable quality, of elite and super-elite seeds, seedlings, and other 
planting materials to private sector multipliers for commercial seed production and sales to farmers; and (ii) develop and 
update guidelines related to seed production, testing and registration, and certification for public and private sector 
seed/seedling nurseries. Increasing the supply of super-elite and elite seeds/seedlings that are demanded by 
beneficiaries will aim for drought and pest-resiliency and alignment with different agro-ecological zones.

In accordance to NDC targets for adaptation.

Investments in climate proof and energy efficient infrastructure will be pursued.

Investments in storage facilities will be designed with an objective, among others, to reduce exposure of products to extreme weather conditions.

The sub-component will strengthen institutions involved in (and responsible for) variety registration, seed 
production, and seed/seedling quality assurance to achieve the above stated objectives. Support will include: (i) human 
resource development, including training on CSA and policy options to scale it up, workshops, seminars, conferences and 
study tours; (ii) construction (of new), rehabilitation/renovation (of existing), and refurbishment (of both new and 
existing) infrastructure

such as office, storage

, laboratory etc. buildings; (iii) upgrade of irrigation 
infrastructure/facilities on state seed farms; (iv) establishment and/or upgrading of ICT infrastructure; (v) procurement 
of laboratory equipment, reagents, field equipment, farm machineries and vehicles that would be energy efficient; and 
(v) support of accreditation of laboratories, including to the International Seed Quality Control Agency’s requirements.
