Uzbekistan Looks to Expand Exports of Confectionery to Persian Gulf Markets

Uzbekistan is studying opportunities to increase exports of confectionery to the countries of the Persian Gulf. This was reported in connection with the expansion of production at the local confectionery company CRAFERS and the strengthening of its positions in international markets. The corresponding discussions took place on Thursday in Tashkent during a visit by Ibrohim Ergashev, deputy minister of investment, industry and trade of Uzbekistan, to industrial facilities.

According to the Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade of Uzbekistan, Ergashev visited several manufacturing enterprises in the capital to assess their work, the progress of current projects and plans for further development.

Export projects and direct contacts with buyers

During a visit to the CA-EXPORT & International Trade Center in the Yangihayot district of Tashkent, participants discussed plans to expand trade volumes, attract domestic producers to export activity and promote Uzbek products on international markets. The project is being implemented on a site of 55,000 square meters.

Participants also discussed the creation of direct communication channels between local producers and foreign buyers. In their view, this should facilitate business partnerships and broaden access to export markets.
