Uzbekistan News: reported on October 4 that from January to July this year, Uzbekistan's fruit and vegetable exports to China fell 44% year-on-year, and the export volume was only 19 million US dollars. Among them, the export of fresh cherries dropped the most, only over 100 tons, 500 tons less than the same period last year.
Local companies believe that the main reason for the sharp decline in cherry exports is the spring freezing in Uzbekistan in spring and the decline in cherry production. At the same time, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has led to an upgrade of quarantine measures, which is not conducive to exports. In the same period of this year, Chile exported 165 tons of cherries to China, and Kyrgyzstan exported 164 tons of cherries to China, both of which declined to varying degrees.
As with cherries, from January to July this year, only 5,900 tons of raisins were exported to China, a decrease of 7,800 tons or 56.9% compared with the same period last year. Despite the decline by more than half, Uzbekistan is still the largest exporter of raisins to China, and the export volume of other major exporters of raisins to China, such as the United States, Chile, and Turkey, has also declined to varying degrees.
Unlike cherries and raisins, exports of dried apricots to China doubled from January to July 2020, reaching more than 200 tons.
