Growing agricultural exports from Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan aims to increase agricultural exports to $3.5 billion in 2025. To achieve this goal, it plans to:
- Obtain phytosanitary permits for the export of 30 new types of products to 8 countries.
- Invest $40.5 million in the production of packaging for 2.1 million tons of fruits and vegetables.
- Providing tax benefits to entrepreneurs using modern packaging: a reduced social tax rate of 1% for employees until 2028.
Digital labeling of fertilizers and pesticides
A pilot project for mandatory digital labeling of mineral fertilizers and plant protection products was launched in Uzbekistan on May 1, 2025. The goal is to combat counterfeiting and improve control over product circulation. Labeling will become mandatory from May 2026.
Record grain harvest
In 2024, Uzbekistan harvested a record 8.9 million tons of grain and leguminous crops, which was the result of modernization of agricultural technologies and expansion of sown areas. This result was made possible by the comprehensive modernization of agricultural technologies, active introduction of modern irrigation systems, expansion of sown areas and introduction of innovations in the agricultural sector.
However, in terms of quantitative indicators, there is an equally important task of preserving the quality of the harvested crop. This is especially true for crops such as corn, which is prone to rapid spoilage in high humidity. Due to the growth of production volumes in Uzbekistan, the demand for industrial grain dryers capable of processing large batches of crops quickly and energy efficiently is also growing.
Shaft current grain dryers that ensure uniform drying while maintaining the nutritional properties of the grain.
Alternative fuel dryers as an economically viable solution in the face of rising energy prices.
To get the maximum effect from Uzbekistan’s record harvests, it is important to invest not only in cultivation technologies, but also in post-harvest infrastructure: grain dryers, elevators, grain cleaning and storage systems.
