Jizzakh Region, Administrative region in central Uzbekistan
The region encompasses 21,210 square kilometers of territory between Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, featuring agricultural lands and mountain ranges of the Turkestan Mountains.
The territory gained its status as a separate administrative region on December 29, 1973, when it was split from the Sirdaryo Region of the Uzbek Soviet Republic.
The region maintains strong agricultural traditions with local communities cultivating cotton and wheat through extensive irrigation systems across the fertile valleys.
The Special Economic Zone in the region offers industrial development opportunities through Chinese investments, particularly in construction and mechanical engineering sectors.
Zaamin National Park within the region contains black storks and other rare species across its 460 square kilometers of mountain landscapes.
