Europe is ready: unique products from the Orient

NATURAL INGREDIENTS AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

Thanks to good climatic conditions, Uzbek agriculture can produce outstanding products. Now is the time to make the local natural ingredients available to the many interested buyers throughout Europe. European importers highly demand these products:

  • Dried and freeze-dried fruits and vegetables
  • Essential oils and extracts as well as medicinal and aromatic plants
  • Legumes, e.g. chickpeas, mung beans or beans

Uzbekistan is also an attractive destination for European tourists because of its more than 4,000 historical sites, including Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva and Shahrisabz, as well as the fascinating culture of the Orient. Europeans are also eager to discover the diverse landscape with mountain passes, valleys and deserts.
European tour operators are therefore constantly looking for sustainable offers.
