Abstract

The article examines the methodological foundations for assessing the technological frontier efficiency of agricultural production under interregional technological heterogeneity. It substantiates the integration of the metafrontier approach and stochastic frontier analysis models that account for regional differences in production technologies, resource endowments and technological capabilities. A methodological solution is proposed to separate technical inefficiency from technology gaps, determine the technology gap ratio and comparatively assess the production capacities of regions. The approach serves to scientifically substantiate regional priorities for raising agricultural production efficiency. The study found that in 2016-2024 the nominal volume of agricultural output in the country grew 3.81-fold, Namangan region’s share reached 7.39 percent in 2024, and in 2025 real growth rates across the region’s districts ranged from 101.4 to 107.3 percent. A classification dividing regions into four strategic groups by technical efficiency and technology gap ratio was developed.
