Breeding scientists in Uzbekistan have developed two new varieties of nectarine called "Hosiyat" and "Ifora" which have large fruits weighing about 200 grams and a long shelf life. The nectarines have a good appearance, with yellow flesh that easily separates from the stone and a sugar content of 14%. Uzbekistan's export of peaches and nectarines is an important part of the country's fresh fruit market, ranking second in export revenue after fresh table grapes.
