Uzbekistan and Tajikistan are experiencing a good apple harvest this spring due to avoided frost damage and lack of excess crop load from the previous year. However, unusual hot weather in July is causing plant stress, water deficiency, and sunburn, with some areas experiencing fruit shedding. The high temperatures have also led to ultra-early ripening of autumn apple varieties, which are being sold despite not yet reaching the necessary mass. This oversupply has resulted in significantly lower wholesale and retail prices for apples in Uzbekistan compared to the previous year, and it is anticipated that farmers may need to continue selling at low prices until the supply diminishes, potentially leading to a price surge in winter due to limited local stock and the introduction of imported apples.

According to EastFruit experts, a very good apple harvest was formed in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the spring of 2022. Farmers were expecting a good, and possibly even a record, autumn apple harvest in 2022, unlike last season, when two waves of frost severely damaged the ovary and negatively affected production and fruit quality. By the way, according to farmers, it was the lack of excess crop load in 2021 that served as another reason for the formation of a good harvest this season. However, the weather in July made its own adjustments. Abnormal hot weather in the region persists for about two weeks. At the same time, the temperature in the shade exceeds 45-46 degrees Celsius, which leads to excessive plant stress, water deficiency and sunburn. Farmers also report that, at this temperature, they are physically unable to carry out fruit processing in orchards alone.
