Uzbekistan is rich in natural resources, economic strength of strong economic strength in the CIS countries, after Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan.

国民经济支柱产业是“四金”：黄金、“白金”（棉花）、“黑金”（石油）、“蓝金”（天然气）。但经济结构单一，加工工业较为落后。农业、畜牧业和采矿业发达，棉花产量占前苏联的2/3，生丝产量占前苏联生丝产量的49%，洋麻产量占前苏联的90%以上，羊羔皮、蚕茧和黄金产量分别占前苏联的2/3、1/2和1/3。轻工业不发达，62%的日用品依靠其他共和国提供。矿产资源丰富，矿产资源储量总价值约3.5万亿美元。现探明有近100种矿产品。主要有天然气、煤炭、石油、有色金属、黄金、铜、铅、锌和稀有金属等，黄金储量居世界第四位，年开采量80吨左右，在独联体居第二位。铜和钨的储量在独联体国家中均居前列，石油和白银、白金、锌、铝矾土等金属矿藏也非常丰富。铀开采量占前苏联的25%。煤储量为20亿吨，铀储量约占世界第七、八位。水力资源丰富，森林覆盖率为12%。天然气资源主要分布在卡拉库盆地东北部边缘的查尔米和布哈拉台阶地区，其中最大的加兹里气田储量达4193亿立方米。石油资源多集中在东部天山褶皱带的费尔干纳盆地，已探明储量为5.84亿吨。天然气的产量仅次于土库曼斯坦，居中亚第二位、独联体第三位，年产气量在300亿立方米以上。乌兹别克斯坦工业在中亚地区举足轻重，天然气、机械制造、有色金属、黑色金属、轻纺和丝绸等工业都比较发达。

The pillar industry of the national economy is the "four gold", "Platinum": gold (cotton), the "black gold" (oil), "blue" (natural gas). But the economic structure of a single, processing industry is relatively backward. Agriculture, livestock and mining industry developed, cotton production accounts for the former Soviet Union 2/3, raw silk production accounted for 49% of the former Soviet Union raw silk production, kenaf production accounts for more than 90% former Soviet, lamb, cocoon and gold production accounted for the former Soviet Union 2/3, 1/2 and 1/3. Light industry is underdeveloped, daily necessities 62% rely on other Republic of. Rich in mineral resources, the total value of mineral reserves around $3.5. Now it has nearly 100 kinds of minerals. There are natural gas, oil, coal, nonferrous metal, gold, copper, lead, zinc and rare metal, gold reserves ranking the fourth in the world, the annual production capacity of 80 tons, ranking the second place in the Commonwealth of independent states. Copper and tungsten reserves are in the forefront in the CIS countries, oil and silver, gold, zinc, bauxite and other metal mineral resources are also very rich. Uranium mining accounted for 25% of the former Soviet union. Coal reserves of 20 tonnes of uranium reserves, accounting for about seventh of the world, eight. The water is rich in resources, the forest coverage rate of 12%. Natural gas resources are mainly distributed in the northeast margin of the basin and Bukhara Karakul Chami step area, among them Jaziri and gas reserves the largest up to 419300000000 cubic meters. Oil resources are more concentrated in the eastern Tianshan fold belt, Fergana basin, has proven reserves of 5.84 tons. The natural gas output second only to Turkmenistan, the middle of second, CIS third, with an annual output of 30000000000 cubic meters of gas at. Uzbekistan industry play a decisive role in the Central Asia region, natural gas, machinery manufacturing, non-ferrous metal, black metal, textile and silk industries are more developed.
