Prospects for the development of the fruit and vegetable products market

Abstract

The fruit and vegetable sector is an important sector of agriculture in Uzbekistan. This sector will meet the demand of the population for food products, and the processing industry for raw materials. Fruit and vegetable growing is one of the sectors for Uzbekistan that provides integration into world agricultural andfood markets andforeign exchange earnings. In order to ensure uninterrupted supply of food products to the population of Uzbekistan today, special attention is paid to increasing the volume and variety of production, raising incomes and living standards of the rural population. A number of positive results have been achieved as a result of the implementation of the established regional action programs for the cultivation of fruit and vegetable products, the timely and quality implementation of agro-technical measures. Analysis of the experience of developed countries in the cultivation, storage, processing and export of fruit and vegetable products shows the need to develop cooperation and clusters of producers of these products. It is known that the current natural and climatic conditions in our country allow for the sustainable development of agricultural products, especially fruit and vegetables. The President and the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan pay great attention to the development of fruit and vegetable growing as a priority in the transition to market relations. The fact that a significant part of the country's foreign exchange earnings is formed through the sale of fruit and vegetable products in foreign markets also indicates the priority of radical reform and rapid development of the industry.
