Weather anomalies and January frosts in Uzbekistan negatively impacted the fruit and vegetable business in 2023, causing huge damage to greenhouse vegetables and leading to a rapid increase in prices for fresh tomatoes and sweet peppers. The abnormal cold resulted in significant crop losses of up to 70% for tomatoes, sweet peppers, and cucumbers, and led to a drop in exports of fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. The freezing temperatures also affected the quality of onions stored in warehouses, impacting the overall performance of the fruit and vegetable market in Uzbekistan.
