Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan will continue compensating agricultural enterprises for part of the cost of diesel fuel purchased on commodity exchanges from 1 July to 1 December 2026.
The measure is provided for by a presidential resolution dated 12 September on reforming the liquefied gas market.
The subsidy covers the portion of the fuel cost exceeding 15 million soums per tonne. The maximum compensation is 2 million soums per tonne. Payments are made through the Agency for Payments in the Agricultural Sector under the Ministry of Agriculture.
Earlier in May, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a decree on financial support for grain and cotton production in Uzbekistan. The document provided for subsidies to agricultural enterprises for purchasing diesel fuel between 1 April and 1 July at a price exceeding 13 million soums per tonne.
The procedure for providing the subsidies was approved by Minister of Agriculture Ibrokhim Abdurakhmonov in late July.
Payments are made proactively through the AgroSubsidy portal provided that a number of conditions are met, including registration of cultivated areas and the targeted use of fuel purchased on the exchange.
The subsidy amount is calculated automatically based on data from the Agroportal and the Uzbekistan Republican Commodity Exchange (UzRTSB) system. Once the subsidy is accrued, the funds are transferred to the recipient’s account within three working days. Priority use of the funds may be given to repaying concessional loans.
According to the National Statistics Committee, Uzbekistan produced 683,000 tonnes of diesel fuel in January–July 2026. Production increased by 1.4% compared with the same period last year and by 9.4% compared with 2024.
