Management Systems of Organic Vegetable Enterprises in Uzbekistan: Characteristics, Challenges, and Modern Approaches
Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the specific characteristics and contemporary approaches to the management systems of enterprises engaged in organic vegetable production. The research explores key aspects such as management principles, risk mitigation strategies, resource use efficiency, and environmental certification requirements, all examined through environmental, economic, and social lenses. The article compares organic and conventional management models—highlighting differences in strategic planning, financial operations, marketing practices, and risk reduction mechanisms—within the context of opportunities and challenges unique to Uzbekistan. Particular attention is given to innovative solutions for managing organic enterprises, including the implementation of agro-clusters, digital marketing, international certification systems, and environmental compliance, all of which are substantiated with practical evidence.
