Cherries from Uzbekistan were exported to 16 countries

EastFruit analysts named the very short marketing period, which lasted almost a month less than usual, as the main distinguishing feature of the current cherry season in the main cherry-producing region of Uzbekistan. In addition, the spring of 2024 was unusually cool and rainy, which led to delays in the ripening of many fruits, including cherries, and also had a negative impact on their quality parameters. As for export figures, in the period from January to August 2024, Uzbekistan exported 32.2 thousand tons of cherries to 16 countries, earning $70.4 million for this.
