Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are facing challenges in selling greenhouse vegetables, particularly tomatoes, due to the decreased solvency of Russian buyers. The devaluation of the ruble and financial instability in Russia are also impacting exports from the two countries. As a result, both countries are under pressure to find ways to diversify their greenhouse vegetable export markets to reduce their reliance on an unreliable trading partner. Uzbekistan has recently lifted its informal ban on the import of greenhouse tomatoes from Turkmenistan, which may further increase pressure on domestic prices.
