Uzbekistan's Multi-Billion Dollar Export Strategy Focuses on Food and Metals
Uzbekistan aims to enhance its export revenues through a multi-billion dollar processing initiative, targeting food and metals sectors. The strategy includes a $10 billion food-processing goal by 2030 and a $4.2 billion technological metals pipeline.

Uzbekistan's export strategy focuses on increasing revenue through a $10 billion food-processing initiative by 2030 and a $4.2 billion technological metals project pipeline. The country plans to localize 880,000 tonnes of sheet steel production and enhance copper-processing to improve profit margins.
Moody's Rating upgraded Uzbekistan's sovereign rating to Ba2, indicating improved economic conditions. The country produces tens of millions of tonnes of fruits and vegetables annually, with expected processed food revenues reaching $4.5 billion this year.
The success of these initiatives relies on infrastructure investment and a stable legal framework. Stakeholders, including the ADB and private firms, are working to attract investments in agribusiness and advanced production technologies. Mining projects must also ensure strong governance to benefit citizens effectively.
