Uzbekistan is consistently developing an export-oriented agricultural sector, creating favorable conditions for investment in fruit and vegetable production and processing. In recent years, a modern legal framework has been established, international standards have been widely adopted, and state support for businesses has been expanded.
Beeld: Market
The press service of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of Uzbekistan reported that, at a regular plenary session, the Chamber considered the response of Minister of Agriculture I. Abdurakhmonov to a parliamentary inquiry entitled “On the work being carried out to increase the volume of export-oriented fruit and vegetable products and to ensure the fulfillment of target export indicators.”
It was noted that boosting exports of fruit and vegetable products is viewed as one of the key areas for improving the efficiency of land use, developing processing capacities, and strengthening the export potential of the agricultural sector.
In 2025, more than 2,000 enterprises obtained international certification, with active growth in organic and GlobalG.A.P.-compliant production. Over the past three years, food industry output has increased to 133 trillion soums, while fruit and vegetable processing has grown 2.5 times.
International cooperation
One of the key areas is cooperation with the Netherlands, one of the global leaders in agrotechnologies. Joint projects cover greenhouse farming, seed production, storage, logistics, and the implementation of advanced green tech solutions aimed at exports to the EU and other premium markets.
Exports are delivered to 95 countries, with priority given to entering the markets of Europe, the United States, and East Asia. For 2025–2026, 673 investment projects worth 10.4 trillion soums are planned, opening new opportunities for strategic and institutional investors.
