The methodology is based on systematic analysis, comparative analysis, content analysis of scientific literature, and secondary data analysis. The findings indicate that green product design, eco-friendly packaging, energy-efficient technologies, and environmental communication significantly enhance the competitiveness of milk processing enterprises. The core elements of the green marketing concept are summarized in a structured table. The article concludes with practical recommendations for implementing green marketing strategies in milk processing enterprises in Uzbekistan.
