Between January and May of 2024, Uzbekistan experienced a 10.4% increase in vegetable and fruit exports, reaching 722.1 thousand tons, valued at $420 million. Russia was the primary consumer, accounting for over 32% of exports. Other significant buyers included Pakistan, Kazakhstan, China, and Afghanistan. The exports included large revenues from onions, cabbage, and mung beans.
