TRENDS AND PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FRUIT AND
VEGETABLES IN UZBEKISTAN

The article highlights the importance of fruit and vegetable clusters in the
agricultural sector of the economy and issues of improving the management mechanisms of fruit
and vegetable clusters.

Analysis of the experience of developed countries in the cultivation, storage, processing, and
export of fruit and vegetable products shows the need to develop cooperation and clusters of
producers of these products. Leading economic researchers emphasize that the cluster-based
approach improves efficiency, reduces costs, and increases competitiveness in international
markets.
It is well known that the existing natural and climatic conditions in Uzbekistan allow for the
sustainable development of agricultural products, in particular fruit and vegetable growing. The
President and the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan pay great attention to the
development of this sector as a priority in the process of transitioning the industry to market
relations. The fact that a significant part of the country's foreign exchange earnings is generated
from the sale of fruit and vegetable products in foreign markets also indicates the priority of
fundamental reforms and accelerated development of the sector.
Several important policy documents have been adopted in this direction, including the Decrees
of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated March 29, 2018, No. UP-5388 “On
Additional Measures for the Accelerated Development of Fruit and Vegetable Growing in the
Republic of Uzbekistan” and dated October 23, 2019, No. UP-5853 “On Approving the Strategy
for the Development of Agriculture of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2020–2030.” Similarly,
the Resolutions of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated October 17, 2018, No. PP-
3978 “On Additional Measures to Increase the Efficiency of Promoting Fruit and Vegetable
Products to Foreign Markets” and dated March 14, 2019, No. PP-4239 “On Measures for the
Development of Agricultural Cooperation in the Fruit and Vegetable Sector” demonstrate the
strategic importance of this industry.
The development of the fruit and vegetable sector has a direct impact on several industries,
including food processing, logistics, and packaging. It also plays a key role in the country’s
agricultural exports and significantly affects the social sphere. The effectiveness of sustainable
development in this area directly influences the living standards of the rural population and,
more broadly, the social well-being of the entire population of the country. Ultimately, the
primary goal of these reforms is to ensure food security, which is reflected in the positive results
of economic reforms carried out in the “New Uzbekistan” and the continuous improvement in
the living standards of the population.
At the same time, challenges remain. Experts note the lack of systematic implementation of
effective market mechanisms, particularly in the development of fruit and vegetable growing and
viticulture. The insufficient application of scientific methods leads to incomplete use of the
existing opportunities. For instance, calculations show that it is possible to obtain seven times
more income from grapes, six times more from cherries, and five times more from walnuts than

from raw cotton grown on one hectare of land. Nevertheless, current levels of processing and
exports remain low.
As the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Sh. Mirziyoyev, pointed out: “Today, only 15
percent of the fruits and vegetables grown in our country are processed, and only 8 percent are
exported. In particular, in Syrdarya, Jizzakh, Khorezm, Kashkadarya, and Tashkent regions,
these indicators remain low. Does the export of fruits and vegetables worth 860 thousand tons, or
620 million dollars, correspond to our capabilities and potential? No, of course not!”
A comparative analysis with developed countries highlights the need to adopt advanced
technologies. For example, in countries such as Spain, Italy, and Turkey, fruit and vegetable
production is highly mechanized, and cold chain logistics are integrated into every stage of the
value chain. By contrast, in Uzbekistan, there is still a lack of modern equipment for cultivating
orchards and vineyards, as well as for sowing and harvesting vegetables and potatoes. Moreover,
the supply of fuel and lubricants, mineral fertilizers, and seeds to farms, as well as measures to
combat plant diseases and pests, are not yet organized at the proper level.
Additional
measures
and
perspectives
To accelerate progress, several directions are important:
Cluster development and cooperation:
Establishing agro-clusters will allow producers,
processors, and exporters to work together, reduce costs, and improve bargaining power in
international markets.
Logistics and storage infrastructure:
The creation of modern refrigeration warehouses
and logistics hubs will minimize post-harvest losses, which currently account for up to 25–30%
of fruits and vegetables in some regions.
Export diversification:
Expanding export destinations beyond traditional markets such
as Russia and Kazakhstan towards the European Union, Middle East, and East Asia would
increase resilience and profitability.
Science and innovation:
Research centers and agricultural universities must develop
modern cultivation technologies, pest control systems, and value-added processing methods.
Financial and institutional support:
Access to affordable credit, insurance mechanisms,
and government-backed investment incentives are essential for farmers and agribusinesses.
The fruit and vegetable sector of Uzbekistan holds enormous potential not only for ensuring
domestic food security but also for turning the country into a major exporter of high-value
agricultural products. Building on the favorable natural and climatic conditions, the
government’s reforms, and the lessons from developed countries, Uzbekistan can achieve rapid
growth in this field. To do so, it is necessary to focus on deep processing, modern storage
facilities, innovation-driven production, and stronger international trade integration. These
efforts will ultimately contribute to sustainable rural development, higher living standards, and
the diversification of the national economy.
