After the Turkestan Region became part of the Russian Empire in 1865, significant changes took place in all spheres of life. Several peoples lived in the Turkestan region, and their economy differed from each other. There were nationalities and social groups in the region that led a sedentary and nomadic lifestyle. The Syrdarya region has become one of the most economically and culturally difficult regions of Turkestan. The territory of the region was inhabited by social categories who led a sedentary and purely nomadic, semi-nomadic economic lifestyle. While the vast majority of Kazakhs adhered to a pure and semi-nomadic economy, Uzbeks and Tajiks were engaged in sedentary. The tsarist administration clearly understood that the main livelihood of the indigenous peoples was closely linked to agriculture. In this regard, the authorities have taken measures to regulate and develop agriculture in the region within a certain system. Market management mechanisms were implemented taking into account the peculiarities of the local economy. The authorities provided material and technical support to the ways of exporting agricultural products of the region. The above-mentioned steps led to the gradual involvement of local agriculture in capitalist relations. At the beginning of the XX century, market facilities and means of agricultural development appeared on the territory of the region. Railways, stations, workshops were built. The directions of formation and development of agriculture in the Syrdarya region under the Russian Empire are among the least discussed topics in historiography. This article provides a scientific analysis of the development of agriculture in the Syrdarya region and its features after the establishment of the power of the Russian Empire. Copyright
