In 2016 alone, Uzbekistan exported cherries for more than $50 million, and these numbers are growing steadily. Meanwhile, teamed up with the departments concerned, Uzagroexport has been actively working not only on expansion of exports, but also on diversification and expansion of their borders. For instance, along with major markets, Uzbekistan has shipped fresh cherries to Great Britain, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates and other states this year.

It is worth noting that after painstaking study of the requirements of the Korean side, the responsible departments joined efforts and lifted the ban on exports of Uzbek cherries to South Korea. Export contracts were concluded and stable supplies were set going.

Korean partners appreciate the quality of Uzbek cherries and plan to expand the range and volumes of imports of fruits and vegetables. In particular, the two sides reached an agreement on exports of pomegranates and melons.

Marketing research shows that Uzbek fresh and dried fruit and vegetable products are highly marketable in the Baltic countries, Europe and South-East Asia. Experts actively seek for new foreign partners. Negotiations on the increase of supplies are underway with companies from the UAE, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany and other countries.
