Tridge summary

A significant surge in interest from Uzbekistan towards Egyptian dates is being observed, following the announcement of a trade mission by the FAO and EBRD, aimed at connecting vegetable and fruit suppliers from Egypt and Morocco with their Uzbekistan counterparts. This development is part of a broader trend, with Uzbekistan experiencing a rapid growth in the consumption of dates, driven in part by increasing religious observance. Over the last five years, the country has seen a tenfold rise in the import of dates.

The trade mission is currently selecting over 100 large and medium-sized exporting companies from Egypt to participate, while importers and supermarket chains from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan are being invited to join the negotiations.
