Uzbekistan is making exciting strides in international trade with the expansion of its melon exports to the United States and the United Kingdom. This recent development marks a significant milestone for Uzbekistan’s agricultural sector and highlights the country’s growing role in the global fruit market.
The Ministry of Agriculture has announced that Uzbekistan has received authorization to export melons to the U.S., following a successful collaboration with U.S. agricultural officials. With all technical requirements now fulfilled, shipments are expected to begin shortly, pending final legal procedures. Uzbekistan is also exploring the potential to export additional produce, such as grapes and cherries, to the U.S., and both nations are set to strengthen their partnership through enhanced research collaboration.
In the UK, Uzbekistan has officially launched regular melon exports. The first shipment has been successfully delivered, and British consumers will now have consistent access to these flavorful melons. The positive response from previous trial shipments has paved the way for ongoing negotiations to introduce more Uzbek products to the UK market.
In the first seven months of 2024 alone, Uzbekistan exported 23,300 tons of melons, valued at $11 million. This expansion into new markets underscores Uzbekistan’s commitment to boosting international trade and solidifying its presence on the global stage.
