This article analyzes the condition of the agricultural sectors-including farming, animal husbandry, and land ownership relations-in Khorezm at the beginning of the 20th century. The political situation that arose at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, resulting from the First World War, the coup d'état, and the national liberation movements against the Soviets, had a serious impact on the socio-political and economic processes in the Khorezm oasis. The anarchy following the collapse of the monarchy led to the breakdown of artificial irrigation systems, a sharp reduction in cultivated land, and a deep crisis in the agricultural sectors. Based on historical sources, the essence of the agrarian policy pursued by the KPSR government to resolve the existing problems in these areas is analyzed.
