This article analyzes the economic efficiency of land use across the regions of Uzbekistan. The study examines long-term data on the gross agricultural output per hectare and identifies regions with both high and low efficiency. In addition, international experience in wheat cultivation in Kazakhstan is reviewed. According to the findings, the highest efficiency was observed in the Andijan, Bukhara, and Navoi regions, while the lowest indicators were recorded in the Republic of Karakalpakstan and the Jizzakh region. The paper also provides recommendations for improving the effective use of land resources
