Abstract
This article investigates the organization and sustainable development of beekeeping in Kashkadarya region based on a cluster approach. The economic efficiency, organizational mechanisms, and floristic potential of establishing a beekeeping cluster in the mountainous and foothill areas of Kashkadarya were analyzed. Results indicate that a cluster structure can increase beekeeping profitability by 32–38 percent, boost honey production 2.4-fold, and create over 850 new jobs. The article proposes a “Kitab–Shakhrisabz Mountain Beekeeping Cluster” model adapted to Kashkadarya’s conditions, with a 5-year economic forecast.
