This article explores the issue of agricultural waste in Uzbekistan, a country with a significant agricultural sector. The study investigates the types and quantities of agricultural waste generated in the country and the current practices for managing this waste. The article highlights the environmental and economic impacts of improper disposal of agricultural waste, including soil degradation and loss of valuable resources. Agricultural waste is an issue that requires a multifaceted approach involving technological, legal, and financial elements. The necessity of encouraging collaboration between companies that produce organic fertilizers, organic goods, and organic product sellers is discussed in the article. It is suggested to modify the current manure processing equipment in several ways to produce biologically active organic fertilizers. The study also examines the potential opportunities for utilizing agricultural waste as a renewable energy source and for producing organic fertilizers. The article concludes with recommendations for improving agricultural waste management in Uzbekistan through better regulation, education, and investment in sustainable waste management practices
