Uzbekistan has started exporting peanuts to China, following a agreement with a large Chinese distribution company worth $ 1 million. This comes after a protocol on phytosanitary requirements for Uzbek peanut exports to China was signed in November 2019, and efforts to increase the export of Uzbek agricultural products to China, leading to an increase in exports by 14 items. China is the world's largest producer and importer of peanuts.
