A. Background – Export Overview
In 2002, Uzbekistan ranked 114th
in the world as an exporting country. The country’s exports
reached US$ 1.3 billion in value, but have been decreasing by 5% on average per year between
1998 and 2002 despite the growth of world exports by 4% on average per year during this
period.
Manufactured products and crude materials accounted for almost three-quarters of Uzbekistan’s
total exports in 2002 (see figure 1). Food products (live animals, beverages, processed foods,
vegetable oil, fats and wax) represented 9%.
Figure 1. Breakdown of Uzbekistan’s exports to the world in 2002
Source: ITC PC-TAS 1998-2002
The main food products exported by Uzbekistan are edible fruits and nuts (HS08) (see table 1).
Ranked 6th
amongst all product categories exported by the country, they generated an income of
US$ 44.6 million. Uzbekistan’s exports of vegetable, fruits and related preparations (HS07,
HS20) reached US$ 53.1 million, while exports of animal origin (HS05) amounted to US$ 4.5
million.

B. Export opportunities for processed fruits and vegetables
1.Uzbekistan’s production of fruits and vegetables
Uzbekistan produces various types of fruits and vegetables (see table 3). With an average annual
production of 1,038,473 Mt and 891,536 Mt respectively, tomatoes and cabbages represent the
highest production crops within this category. Nevertheless, Uzbekistan’s production of
tomatoes decreased between 1992 and 2002, by 1.55% while that of cabbages increased by
0.16%. The average annual production of watermelons, fresh vegetables, grapes and apples
reached a volume of 523.0 Mt and 375.5 Mt. Watermelon and vegetable products declined while
the grapes and apples increased on average between 1992-2002.

Uzbekistan’s exports of fruits and vegetables Uzbekistan mainly exports tomatoes fresh or chilled, fresh grapes, onion and shallots fresh or chilled (see table 3). As confirmed by FAO statistics, it is also a producer of those product groups. This suggests that the country is not re- exporting but has its own supply capacity.
