The Kyrgyzstan Trade Mission in Uzbekistan, under the leadership of Almaz Temirbekov, has inked a deal with major Uzbek importers for the supply of premium potatoes from Naryn and Issyk-Kul, as reported by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The agreement, which is based on mutually beneficial terms, guarantees not only the delivery of high-quality products but also competitive pricing. The initial consignment is estimated to be around 1,000 tons of potatoes, which will be dispatched after a comprehensive laboratory examination.
“This collaboration not only underscores the successful bilateral relations between the two nations but also lays the foundation for a sustainable partnership in the realms of trade and economy. Kyrgyzstan takes immense pride in its role in fortifying regional ties and looks forward to new horizons in international trade,” remarked the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic.
It is pertinent to consider the recent trade statistics between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. In 2021, Kyrgyzstan exported goods worth $184 mn to Uzbekistan, with the main products being cement ($31.4 mn), coal briquettes ($15.2 mn), and refined petroleum ($13.8 mn). Conversely, Uzbekistan exported goods worth $773 mn to Kyrgyzstan, with the main products being light rubberized knitted fabric ($96.6 mn), knit t-shirts ($59.7 mn), and knit women’s undergarments ($50.4 mn). This data underscores the growing economic interdependence between the two countries and the potential for further expansion in their bilateral trade relations.
