On Sunday, 8 February 2026, the delegation visited the Namangan Forestry Nursery, located in Namangan Region, eastern Uzbekistan. The purpose of the visit was to observe the existing nursery area, understand its geographical setting, and exchange information with regional forestry representatives regarding current nursery activities.
Location and Coordinates
The Namangan Forestry Nursery is located at the following coordinates:
- Latitude: 41.095428° N
- Longitude: 72.053322° E
The nursery lies within the administrative boundaries of Namangan Region, on the eastern side of the Fergana Valley.
The site is situated on lowland terrain at an approximate elevation of 480 meters above sea level, typical of the central Fergana Valley plain.
Geographical and Administrative Context
The nursery is located close to Namangan, which serves as the main administrative, economic, and logistical center of the region. The surrounding area consists predominantly of agricultural land, interspersed with shelterbelt plantings and rural infrastructure.
From a regional perspective, Namangan Region:
- borders Fergana Region to the west,
- borders Andijan Region to the south, and
- lies in close proximity to the international border with Kyrgyzstan to the northeast.
This position gives the nursery strategic relevance for forestry and greening activities within the eastern part of the Fergana Valley.
Hydrology and Environmental Setting
The Namangan Forestry Nursery is located within the broader Syr Darya river basin. While the river itself does not pass directly through the nursery, the area is supported by a network of irrigation canals (sug‘orish kanallari) that supply water to agricultural and forestry lands across the valley.
The climate is continental, with:
- hot summers,
- cold winters, and
- limited natural precipitation,
making irrigation a critical factor for nursery operations. The flat terrain and established irrigation infrastructure are suitable for open-field nursery production.
Nursery Characteristics and Observations
During the visit, the nursery was observed to be an actively used forestry planting area. The following elements were documented on site:
- Open planting areas with tree rows arranged in a systematic pattern
- Shelterbelt-style plantings along plot boundaries
- Internal dirt roads and access paths used for maintenance
- Basic irrigation arrangements serving planting blocks
No advanced greenhouse complexes or containerized production systems were observed during this visit; nursery activities appear to rely mainly on open-field planting techniques.

General Assessment
The Namangan Forestry Nursery is well positioned geographically within the Fergana Valley and benefits from proximity to Namangan city, established irrigation systems, and an intensively managed agricultural landscape. Although nursery infrastructure is relatively basic, the site functions as a regional planting and support facility for forestry and greening activities.
The visit provided a clear understanding of the nursery’s current condition, spatial context, and institutional setting, forming a sound basis for any future technical assessment or development planning.
