Experts note that agricultural export volumes from Russia to Uzbekistan are breaking records. According to 2025 data, deliveries increased by 19% in monetary terms.
In 2025, Russia shipped approximately 1.15 million tons of agricultural products to Uzbekistan.
It is noted that Uzbekistan is currently one of the most important buyers of Russian agricultural products.
Every fourth ton of food imported into the country is of Russian origin.
According to analysts, one of the main commodities Uzbekistan purchases from Russia is sugar and raw sugar. In 2025, it purchased $255 million worth of these, a significant amount.
At the same time, we are seeing positive trends in terms of delivery volumes.
Last year, Uzbekistan purchased 170,000 tons more sugar and raw sugar from Russia than the year before. In physical terms, exports amounted to 417,000 tons.
Experts note that this is a significant achievement, as it represents a five-year high.
Comparing 2025 results with 2020, growth is evident: sugar exports from Russia to Uzbekistan increased from 315,000 tons to 417,000 tons during this period.
Experts believe there is every reason to believe that this trend will continue.
For example, in the first months of 2026, Russia has already shipped 80,000 tons of sugar to Uzbekistan. This is three times more than in the same period in 2025.
If this trend continues, it is likely that Russia will set a new record for sugar shipments to the country by 2026.
At the same time, sugar is not the only agricultural product that Uzbekistan actively purchases from Russia, analysts note.
In addition, this country regularly sets new records for the purchase of soybean meal and cake, sunflower oil and margarine, and confectionery. According to the latest data, these products account for the lion’s share of Russian agricultural exports to Uzbekistan.
In total, since 2018, the total volume of agricultural trade between the countries has tripled.
However, there is potential for further growth. In particular, experts note that supplies of fish, meat, seeds, and fertilizers may increase in the near future.
Furthermore, demand for sugar beet pulp is rapidly growing in Uzbekistan. While the country purchased 1,200 tons in 2025, supplies at the beginning of 2026 totaled approximately 400 tons.
Therefore, by the end of 2026, analysts believe the 2025 figure could be significantly exceeded.
