Agricultural Industry
Legal advice on agricultural industry for businesses operating in Uzbekistan.
Overview
Agricultural Industry advice for businesses operating in Uzbekistan.
Agricultural enterprises operate under a body of legislation that governs not only how they trade but what they may do with the land they hold. Land in Uzbekistan is state property, held on lease or on a right of use, and the terms of that right determine what can be built on it, whether it can be pledged, and what happens on reorganisation.
Digests Global Law Firm advises farming enterprises, agricultural clusters, processors and investors on the legal framework applicable to the sector.
Our agricultural practice covers:
- Land rights — allocation, lease, permitted use, and termination or withdrawal of rights
- Formation and operation of farming enterprises and agricultural clusters
- Contracts for the supply, processing and sale of agricultural produce
- State support measures, subsidies and preferential financing
- Taxation of agricultural producers, including the land tax and applicable special regimes
- Phytosanitary and quality requirements, and certification for export
- Financing secured against harvest and agricultural assets
- Disputes over land rights and supply contracts
We advise on the security of a land right before an investment is made against it.
