Abstract
The research examines the role and importance of income from tomorka (small household) farm activities in rural areas. The factors influencing the formation of income from tomorka farm activities were also assessed economically through tobit regression model, and a VIF (Variance inflation factor) test was performed to determine their multicollinearity. Anonymous surveys of 170 landowners in 4 districts of Samarkand region have been used in the analysis. The increase in income from tomorka farm is due to the increase in farmland area, consumption of organic and mineral fertilizers, seed and seedling costs, crop preparation costs, and the distance from tomorka farm to ‘Tomorqa Xizmati’ LLC and mineral fertilizer outlets, and the age of landowners is 1 percent (p). <.01) was found to be statistically significant. It is also scientifically substantiated that the satisfaction of landowners with water supply in irrigating their arable lands, the information of the landowner, the presence of family members aged 0-3 years are statistically significant at 5% (p <.05). However, it was found that the gender and number of family members of landowners were not statistically significant in increasing the income from the activities of tomorka farm. Based on the results obtained, scientifically based proposals have been developed to increase the income of the rural population from tomorka farm activities.
