The agency reported that Uzbekistan outstripped such countries as Poland, China, Spain, Argentina, Morocco, South Africa and Italy.

Uzbekistan's fruit export value amounted to $300 million last season, which is 47% more year-on-year.

In the season 2009/10 Uzbekistan was just the sixth major supplier of fruits to the Russian Federation. Stone fruits (sweet and sour cherries, peaches etc.), table grapes, melons and watermelons were the most important categories of Uzbekistan's fruit exports to Russia. They altogether accounted for 75% of overall export volume. As to dried fruit exports to Russia, they were actively developing too.
