Uzbekistan: an overview
• Uzbekistan is the world's fifth largest cotton exporter and sixth largest producer (the “cotton basket” in Soviet times)
• Cotton export from 65% to 9% of GDP between 1992 and 2012 (WB, 2013)
• Agriculture from 28% to 17% of GDP between 1992 and 2012
• Largest population in the region: 28,929,716 (2014 est.)
• 25-54 years: 43% (male 6,178,921/female 6,255,715)
• 62% population lives in rural areas
• GDP growth rate 7-8% , inflation 9%
• Underweight 5%, Stunting 19%, Wasting 4%, Obesity 19% (Unicef, 2015)
• Vitamin A 99% coverage

Main Research Question: What is the relationship between agricultural production dynamics and food consumption patterns in Uzbekistan? HP to be tested: The case study shows no trade-off between cash and food crops
![Page 9: Patterns of food consumption and …...Grain sovereignty achieved in 2003 (FAOSTAT & UNDP) 5 Massively consumption of cotton and production of food doubled and got much more diversified](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041606/5e3410c882af1a307d34bc06/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cash Crops, Food Crops & Staple Food (O'Laughlin, Von Braun, Haddad) -From: subistence agriculture to > commercialization transition -Drivers and Processes: income effects, labor in the HH, food consumption, ..effects can be positive and/or negative It is necessary to understand the variables around the relationship between agrarian production and nutrition security outcomes, meant as a ensemble of :
THEORETHICAL FRAMEWORK 1
![Page 10: Patterns of food consumption and …...Grain sovereignty achieved in 2003 (FAOSTAT & UNDP) 5 Massively consumption of cotton and production of food doubled and got much more diversified](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041606/5e3410c882af1a307d34bc06/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Commodity Value Chain (Gibbon, Ponte 2006, Barrientos, 2012) To help investigate the interactions of cotton, wheat and F&V with:
INPUTS of production: a)Employment: stratification, diversification, intra-household dynamics
b)Land, fertilizers, irrigation and infrastructures, machineries, credits
OUTPUTS: -Market channels , prices, and non-market dynamics for distribution & exchange
THEORETHICAL FRAMEWORK 2
![Page 11: Patterns of food consumption and …...Grain sovereignty achieved in 2003 (FAOSTAT & UNDP) 5 Massively consumption of cotton and production of food doubled and got much more diversified](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041606/5e3410c882af1a307d34bc06/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Methodology : mixed method • Quantitative: farmer survey 3 modules: 1) Assets and socio-econ indexes different levels of demands
2) Commercialization supply dimension + food system of provision
3) Individual Dietary Diversity Index + Food insecurity indic.
Food consumption (focus of the presentation)
• Qualitative: participant observations, unstructured interviews
(seasonality, intra-household dynamics, culture and institutions)

The nutrition metrics: methodological considerations on IDDI & FANTA • They allow comparability and reproducibility
• Good to grasp food access & consumption modalities
• FANTA: grasps the food security dimension (30 days recall)
• Individual Dietary Diversity Index: grasps diet composition and quality
16 food groups adapted to the local diet and season (24-hour recall)
• BOTH support the understanding of interplays of food production, distribution and access
• No use of anthropometry because not relevant for the scope of the research, which looks at:
IF and HOW different commercialization degrees of farmers affects diets.

The survey: sampling method • Purposive sample: 120 farmer from 9 different districts of Samarkand region
: cotton versus non cotton areas
4 groups:
• 1) cotton farm manager
• 2) F&V farm manager
• 3) Dekhans
• 4) Agrarian wage workers
• Only 3 respondents receive remittances
• Gender balanced, where possible

FOOD Acquisition • Who buys food in your family?
• Gender role in income management: male generally holds food consumption decision

Final remarks
Agric. wage workers are less dependent on the market for staple food
than dekhans.
Nevertheless, both dekhans and agric. wage workers depend on the
community (credit, borrowing) for food provision
Farm manager, although benefit more from markets & marketed
assets are less dependent on the market for food provision and don’t
buy non-essential food.
Cereal, tubers and roots occupy the biggest share of the diet across
all the groups
Gender plays a key role in the patterns of food provision

Limitations & final remarks
Shortage of primary data to compare and contrast
Although nutritional status better grasped in cold seasons,
production and employment changes as well
Female only partially represented in the population sample
The definition of labour and employment is complex ( temporary
jobs)
The non-monetary economy & non-traded goods play a big role
Strong culture and social meanings around the “flex crops”
