Measures to encourage the import of pedigree livestock in our country continue. In particular, the subsidy period will be extended until 2030.
Starting from 2026, privileges for the import of one-day-old chicks will be aimed only at purchasing products from local producers. In addition, until the end of 2027, entrepreneurs importing live cattle, sheep, and goats will have the opportunity to defer and refund VAT payments for 180 days.
At the same time, from 2026, the periods for checking veterinary permits will be reduced by half. Additional conveniences are also being introduced for entrepreneurs in the livestock sector.
In particular, the opportunity will be provided to acquire land plots for growing fodder crops through electronic auctions and to make payments in installments over 5 years. Source: one.uz
