Poultry farming is very important to inform the food security and economic growth, however, performance of financial and distribution efficiency is important and here is the same in Uzbekistan. Present research studies estimate the production economics, but there is a gap in the literature on the combined effect of feed costs, market access, logistics and government support on profitability. However, in addressing this gap through this study, a multiple linear regression (MLR) model is applied to deal with data collected from 500 poultry farmers and distributors. The finding of the study shows that feed cost (–2.4) has the greatest negative impact across the performance while market access (12.1) and government support (14.5) increases the financial performance. Logistics issues (-7.8) make profit extremely challenging owing to poor infrastructure and poor cold storage. Solution: The study argues for targeted policies including feed subsidies, better transport infrastructure as well as direct to consumer sales platform. They provide data driven policy recommendation for improving poultry farming efficiency and financial stability to agricultural economics.
