Uzbekistan increased lemon exports by 2.2 times.
According to the National Statistics Committee, from January to June 2026, Uzbekistan exported 4,100 tons of lemons, worth a total of $4.2 million. This figure represents a 2.2-fold increase in export volumes compared to the same period the previous year.
Kazakhstan was the main importer of Uzbek lemons, receiving 2,300 tons in the first six months of the year.
Russia ranked second in terms of purchase volume, receiving 1,700 tons of lemons. Uzbekistan exported 163.7 tons to Kyrgyzstan.
Exports to other countries were significantly more modest. Afghanistan received 18 tons, and the United Arab Emirates received 2.4 tons. Another 3 tons of lemons were distributed to other destinations. Thus, Kazakhstan and Russia jointly imported about 4 thousand tons out of the total export volume of 4.1 thousand tons recorded in January–June 2026.
