Abstract
This study examines the improvement of organizational and economic mechanisms for
enhancing energy efficiency in greenhouse farming in Uzbekistan. In recent years, rapid technological
development, climate change, and the growing need for sustainable resource management have
made energy efficiency a strategic priority in both developed and developing economies. The
agricultural sector, particularly greenhouse farming, is characterized by high energy consumption
due to the intensive use of heating, cooling, irrigation, and lighting systems. Therefore, the efficient
use of energy resources has become an important issue for ensuring economic sustainability and
competitiveness in the sector. The research analyzes the current state of greenhouse farming in
Uzbekistan, trends in energy consumption, and the impact of energy use ontheeconomicperformance
of greenhouse enterprises. Special attention is given to the role of modern energy-saving technologies,
effective management practices, economic incentives, and institutional support in improving energy
efficiency. Based on the findings, scientifically grounded recommendations are developed to improve
organizational and economic mechanisms aimed at reducing production costs, increasing productivity,
and ensuring sustainable development of greenhouse farming. The results of the study can contribute
to strengthening the competitiveness and long-term sustainability of greenhouse enterprises in
Uzbekistan.
