Abstract
The paper addresses challenges on organization and funding of research and development (http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?a=110&t=4200527_2_1&sc=0 R&D) in the agricultural sector. The necessity of modernization and reequipment of agricultural sector was validated, which is important sector in the economy of Uzbekistan. The paper covers issues on increasing investments in agricultural research, implementation of results of research work into the agriculture production, strengthening of innovative activities. Also, the possibility of nonstate budgetary financing of scientificresearch process in the agrarian sector was considered. Author’s view is given on the main directions of science that need to be supported as a foundation of further development of agricultural R&D and as a result the agricultural production.

Summary
The farm structure in Uzbekistan has changed with a series of agricultural reforms after the independence, while the government of Uzbekistan has strategically adopted a gradual approach to the market oriented economy. Agricultural research and extension is crucial to increase farmers’ output and generating income in the country agricultural research and many of potential linkages and institutional arrangements are needed to be promoted by the government [1]. A priority cross-cutting issue is addressing the needs of vulnerable and low income groups minimising adverse effects of the above mentioned threats In this regard, the agricultural R&D system of the UARPC focuses joint efforts on three main goals of agricultural research: 1) Improving the well-being of the rural population, vulnerable groups and those dependent on agriculture; 2) Guaranteed improvement of the quality and quantity of nutritious food through the intensification and diversification of agriculture; 3) Rational use of natural resources; 2. UARPC functions in introduction of R&D: MAWR and UARPC elaborate the program of research based system in farming and livestock to increase soil fertility, yield of agricultural crops and livestock output; Introduce agricultural R&D innovated by institutions of the UARPC in farming, livestock, technical crops; Provides with stock seeds of cereals, rice, cotton, vegetables, forage and other crops seed-growing farms; Introduce science and research achievements into agriculture production
