In the course of writing the work, the land rights of farmers, the food market, the level of modernization of agro-industrial production were studied. A theoretical method of analysis is used, data for the last 5 years, from 2015 to the present, are analyzed. The data characterizing the agrarian state of the Republic are grouped by regions and by branches of agriculture. With the help of deduction methods, proposals were made to improve the state of the agrarian sector. The study identified measures to further strengthen food security not only in the country, but throughout the world. The decisive factor should be the national agriculture strategy of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2019-2030, which will contribute to the implementation of the proposed measures to ensure the well-being of the population.
