Raspberries are interesting again, Uzbekistan imports raspberries for freezing from Tajikistan

Published 2024년 6월 24일

Tridge summary

After experiencing significant losses from freezing raspberries in the 2022/23 season, local freezers in Central Asia have hesitantly resumed their interest in the berry for the 2023/24 season. Despite challenges in both the volume and quality of production, Tajikistan has been more active in the berry business and plans to make regular wholesale purchases of fresh raspberries for freezing. The average price for raspberries in Tajikistan this season was approximately $1.3 US dollars per kg, and Tajik raspberries are exported to Uzbekistan at a volume of approximately 20 tons per day. Uzbek freezers are currently exporting their finished products to the Russian market at about $2 per kg.

EastFruit analysts note an interesting trend in the Central Asian market. After many local freezers suffered huge losses from freezing raspberries in the 2022/23 season, after the collapse of prices on the world market for this berry, in the 203/24 season freezers did not purchase raspberries at all. However, now we can note a sharp renewal of interest in this berry. True, as before, there is a problem in the region with both the volume of raspberry production and its quality. You can watch a short video from EastFruit about raspberry growing technologies in Uzbekistan at this link. It should be noted that traditionally the berry business has developed somewhat more dynamically in Tajikistan, neighboring Uzbekistan. Therefore, like two years ago, in 2024 there will be regular wholesale purchases of fresh raspberries for freezing in Tajikistan by entrepreneurs from Uzbekistan.
