ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF CULTIVATING CUMIN (CUMINUM CYMINUM L.) VARIETY SAMPLES
Abstract
This article analyzes the economic efficiency of cultivating cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) variety samples under the conditions of the Tashkent Experimental Station of the Research Institute of Vegetable, Melon Crops and Potato Growing during 2022–2024. The yield ranged from 385 to 455 kg/ha, with the highest indicators recorded for the Ch-1 and In-1 varieties. Economic calculations showed that net profit amounted to 21.4–30.2 million UZS/ha, while the profitability level ranged from 80.4% to 113.3%. A very strong correlation was identified between yield and net income (r = 0.97). The results prove that cumin cultivation is an economically efficient production area under the conditions of Uzbekistan.
