Uzbekistan has emerged as a significant supplier of vegetable products in the Eurasian agricultural market, exporting over 2 million tons worth $1.5 billion in 2024. This article examines the current state, key challenges, and strategic prospects of vegetable export development in Uzbekistan. Drawing on official statistics from the State Statistics Agency of Uzbekistan, FAO data, and recent sector analyses, the study identifies critical constraints including cold chain infrastructure deficiencies, post-harvest losses of 20–30%, and market concentration risks. The article proposes evidence-based recommendations covering logistics modernization, product diversification, digital trade platforms, and regulatory harmonization. The findings contribute to the ongoing policy discourse on sustainable agricultural export growth in transition economies.
