Egypt has overtaken Turkey to become the №1 supplier of oranges to Uzbekistan
According to EastFruit analysts, in 2022 Egypt became the main supplier of oranges to Uzbekistan, replacing the previous long-term leader, which was Turkey.
According to our preliminary estimates, the volume of orange imports to Uzbekistan in 2022 set a record having increased by 50% compared to 2021. The main reason for this was the liberalization of imports, as well as the ongoing economic growth in this Central Asian, which contributes to the expansion of produce assortment consumed by the local population.
It should be noted that imports of fresh oranges from Egypt to Uzbekistan increased by 75% in 2022, while imports from Turkey fell by 40%. As a result, the share of Turkish oranges in Uzbek imports decreased from 43% in 2021 to 17% in 2022. At the same time, Turkey immediately dropped to third place in the ranking of suppliers, as it was also overtaken also by Iran, which increased exports of oranges to Uzbekistan by more than 20 times in 2022.
