EastFruit analysts note a significant relative increase in exports of raisins (dried grapes) from Uzbekistan to Japan in 2021. At the end of the year, export deliveries of Uzbek raisins to the Land of the Rising Sun increased by 2.4 times, but the export volume remained relatively modest - 27 tons.
