This study aims to analyze the development and transformation of industry and agriculture in the Kashkadarya oasis during the Second World War, focusing on the role of local enterprises, collective farms, and state policies in supporting the wartime economy. The research employs a historical method, using archival documents, periodicals, and secondary literature to examine economic activities between 1941 and 1945. The findings reveal that despite severe labor shortages, resource constraints, and wartime mobilization, the Kashkadarya region significantly expanded industrial production through artels and workshops, while agricultural output—particularly cotton, grain, livestock, and sugar beet—was maintained and, in some cases, increased. The study demonstrates that the coordinated efforts of state institutions, local authorities, and the population enabled the region to make a substantial contribution to the Soviet wartime economy. These results highlight the importance of regional economic resilience and organized labor on the home front during the Second World War.
