Decision No. PP-274 of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On additional measures to support the poultry breeding”.

This Presidential Decision introduces additional measures to support the poultry sector. It aims to increase poultry production, expand processing capacities, and provide financial assistance for investment projects. To achieve this, the Reconstruction and Development Fund will channel the equivalent of USD 105 million through Microcreditbank during 2026-2027 for a 10-year period, including a 4-year grace period, at an annual rate of 6 percent.
The decision establishes preferential lending mechanisms for new poultry production and processing projects. Beginning 1 August 2026, loans for new poultry production facilities and “ready business” projects will be provided through Microcreditbank for up to 10 years, including a 4-year grace period, at an annual interest rate of 10 percent, with a 4 percent bank margin. From 1 September 2026, poultry farms, poultry feed manufacturers, and eligible business projects will also be able to access loans at the same 10 percent rate. The decision further assigns implementation responsibility to the Director of the Livestock and Pasture Development Agency and oversight responsibility to the Deputy Prime Minister.
The decision also amends an earlier presidential decision on livestock and pasture development. Changes include setting a 10 percent annual lending rate for state debt-financed international financial institution loans to livestock enterprises, with financing arrangements involving the Ministry of Economy and Finance and commercial banks. In addition, the Parrandasanoat Association will receive a budget loan of 50 billion soums at 7 percent interest until February 2027, while the State Agricultural Support Fund may receive up to 1 trillion soums in additional resources to support agricultural lending programs, with interest-rate compensation mechanisms funded from the state budget.
