Аннотация

This article systematizes the methodological approaches developed in international and Uzbek practice for assessing the efficiency of clusters specializing in food processing. It compares the underlying concepts, indicators, strengths, and limitations of seven approaches: resource and cost analysis, agglomeration statistics, value-chain analysis, the Cluster Initiative Performance Model (CIPM), cluster management quality assessment (ECEI), frontier efficiency analysis using data envelopment analysis (DEA), and assessment based on key performance indicators (KPIs). Using 2025 data from the National Statistics Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the study compares relative performance indicators for clusters with those for special economic zones and small industrial zones. Cluster output per employee was UZS 686.1 million, exports accounted for 9.8% of output, and pre-tax profitability remained close to zero. The lack of a breakdown by cluster type in official statistics was the main obstacle to assessing food processing clusters separately. The study establishes eight scientific and methodological principles for assessment and proposes a six-component composite assessment model and a cluster synergy coefficient.
