A meeting to develop mutual trade in dairy products was held between Russian exporting companies and Uzbek businesses, with a focus on addressing the Uzbek's raw milk shortage by importing powdered milk and cheeses from Russia. The meeting was moderated by the Director General of the Russian National Union of Milk Producers and included discussions on the potential for increasing export deliveries from Russia, with many large Russian dairy enterprises already certified for export to Uzbekistan. Both countries expressed a high interest in developing dairy trade and intensifying contacts for specific contract studies.
