Uzbekistan intends to bring the level of grape production up to 1.9 million tons this year.
The area of vineyards has increased by more than 7,000 hectares in all categories of farms over the recent years throughout the country, and production itself by 136,000 tons. This allowed domestic farmers to scale up the production to 1.7 million tons of grapes in 2016.
Large processing enterprises under the Uzvinosanoat Holding have been making certain progress in this direction through the expansion of their own vineyards with valuable industrial varieties. To date, their share falls to more than 4,000 hectares of industrial varieties of vineyards, ensuring a good reserve for strengthening their feedstock base. The company is working on expansion of the vineyards by another 1,400 hectares this year.
The production of bigger volumes of grapes requires strengthening of the logistical capacity of enterprises, and modernization of their facilities. In this context, there are plans afoot to implement 70 projects totaling over 650 billion soums in the industry in the next two years.
The projects would increase the volume and improve the quality of products, and introduce international standards. 162 investment projects totaling more than 235 billion soums have been implemented in the production and processing of grapes over the past seven years.
