In his research, Shohsuvor Azizov achieved the following practical results:

• Developed a method for calculating added value at various stages of the value chain for different types of agricultural products grown in peasant farms, along with ways to apply it.
• Developed a methodological approach for increasing added value and reducing product losses based on the development of a system for storing and processing agricultural products in home conditions.
• Proposed rules for organizing cooperatives based on equity participation, which can be financed from their own resources and have the right to material incentives, as well as their composition and organizational-management structure.
• Developed methods for increasing added value and income in the activities of peasant farms based on the implementation of a contract system between the subjects of the value chain and peasant farms in the processes of production and delivery of agricultural products to consumers.

The conclusions, proposals, and recommendations derived from the research can be used by the Ministry of Agriculture and other relevant agencies and organizations of the Republic of Uzbekistan for developing programs and special measures for the development of peasant farms and strengthening their role in the value chain, as well as in the educational process of higher and secondary special educational institutions.
