The Trade Mission of the Kyrgyz Republic in Uzbekistan will open a Kyrgyz Trade Pavilion at Food City in Tashkent.
Food City is Uzbekistan’s largest wholesale fruit and vegetable market and one of the country’s biggest food distribution centers.
An agreement on the pavilion’s opening was signed on May 15 in Tashkent between the Trade Mission of the Kyrgyz Republic in Uzbekistan and the Uzbek company FOODSTUFFS SELL.
Spanning 60 hectares in Tashkent, Food City includes a large fresh food market serving retailers, supermarket chains, exporters, food processing companies, restaurants, and catering businesses.
According to the Kyrgyz Ministry of Economy and Commerce, the pavilion will create a new platform for promoting Kyrgyz products in the Uzbek market and developing trade between the two countries.
The pavilion will feature a permanent exhibition of Kyrgyz goods, including environmentally friendly and organic agricultural products, processed goods, and other food products.
Officials say the project is expected to expand Kyrgyzstan’s export potential and strengthen direct ties between producers and distributors in the two countries.
Bakai Akbaraliev, Kyrgyzstan’s trade representative in Uzbekistan, said the opening of the pavilion at Food City represents more than simply a new trading platform.
“We are creating a sustainable channel for promoting Kyrgyz products, expanding export opportunities for businesses, and developing new mechanisms for sustainable trade and economic cooperation between the two countries,” Akbaraliev said.
The project also aims to increase trade turnover between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
