Annotation:

This article examines the state of agriculture in the Emirate of Bukhara as reflected in the works of historians of the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century. In studying this issue, the author relies on the works of local historians and other written sources, noting that during the reign of the Manghit emirs, agriculture in the Emirate of Bukhara was in an unfavorable condition. Although the local rulers did not pay serious attention to the development of agriculture, the local population, despite numerous difficulties, cultivated rice, tobacco, hemp, wheat, cotton, and barley, while also developing horticulture and viticulture to meet their food needs. Based on available reliable sources, the author objectively and scientifically analyzes the state of agriculture in the Emirate of Bukhara during the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century from a historiographical perspective.
