From January to November 2024, Uzbekistan’s agricultural producers exported 32,200 tonnes of cherries worth $70.3 mn, according to the Statistics Agency of Uzbekistan.

In volume terms, exports decreased by 28% compared to the same period in 2023. However, in value terms, they increased by 33%, driven by a rise in the average price from $1,200 to $2,200 per tonne.

Russia was the primary importer of Uzbek cherries during this period, accounting for nearly 79% of shipments. Kazakhstan imported 3,500 tonnes, and Kyrgyzstan received 2,800 tonnes.

Uzbek cherries were exported to markets in Belarus, the UAE, China, South Korea, Malaysia, and other countries.
