GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES OF THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF KASHKADARYO REGION

Abstract

This article examines the regional disparities in industrial development within Kashkadaryo Province, categorizing its districts into high, medium, and low industrial development areas based on their share of industrial production. The analysis highlights the significant decline in industrial shares in certain districts, such as Muborak and Guzor, which indicate a need for technological modernization and investment diversification. Conversely, districts like Nishon have demonstrated substantial growth, suggesting the successful launch of new industrial facilities. The article underscores the importance of a balanced regional policy to address inter-district disparities, advocating for high-industrial areas to serve as models for collaboration and support for less developed districts. It emphasizes the need for equitable resource distribution, strategic planning, and the promotion of small and medium-sized enterprises to foster sustainable economic growth. Overall, the findings propose a comprehensive approach to enhance the industrial potential of Kashkadaryo Province.
