LEGAL FOUNDATIONS OF STATE CONTROL IN AGRICULTURE: INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND NATIONAL PRACTICE

Abstract:

The article analyzes the legal foundations of state control in the agricultural sector of Uzbekistan in comparison with international experience. Using the WTO SPS Agreement, and control models in the European Union and the United States as examples, it highlights the advantages of a risk-based approach. The study demonstrates how institutional fragmentation and a prescriptive approach in Uzbekistan’s control system affect its efficiency and substantiates the need for digitalization and integration through a unified platform. The conclusion provides recommendations for introducing a risk-based approach in the agricultural sector, harmonizing authorities, and creating a legal framework aligned with international standards.
