It serves as an excellent opportunity for producers, suppliers, and consumers from around the world to discuss business matters, industry development, and establish international partnerships.

Entrepreneurs and guests of the exhibition shared their impressions:

Erkinjon Inamov, head of "EXIM AGRO" company: "We would like to thank our government for providing us the opportunity to participate in this exhibition and showcase our products to global market players. Exporting companies from our country are presenting their products at Uzbekistan’s pavilion. There has been great interest in our products here. I want to emphasize that Uzbekistan’s image abroad is growing year by year. In particular, the demand for our dried fruits and fresh fruits is increasing. We received many partnership offers, not only from Germany and the United Kingdom but also from Slovenia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. During the exhibition, we held negotiations with many companies, and I believe that we will establish close cooperation with them in the future."

Torsten Janssen, representative of "Janssen Handel" company: "We visited the exhibition to familiarize ourselves with new products. We were warmly welcomed at Uzbekistan’s beautifully decorated pavilion. Here, we discovered unique, sweet dried fruits that are not grown in Germany or Europe, as well as new products for us. We will consider this in our future cooperation plans".

Saidvali Nasretdinov, head of "GDF Agro" LLC: "The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Uzbekistan annually organizes exhibitions under the "Made in Uzbekistan" brand, and this year we are also participating in the FRUIT LOGISTICA fair in the capital of Germany. This international exhibition mainly features major branded companies that cultivate fruits and vegetables, serving the agribusiness sector. The exhibition provides companies with an opportunity to find the products, technologies, and partners they need. Here, we met with partners from Central and Eastern Europe and planned to sign contracts with them in the future. Specifically, negotiations took place with companies about direct supplies of our fresh fruits. It is worth noting that entrepreneurs from all regions of our republic participated in the exhibition. There is a great demand for Uzbek fruits and vegetables in Europe".
